     Hello Technet:
     
     We are presently using an auto-thieving software (for optimizing 
     copper plating thickness distribution) which has very limited 
     capabilities in that it will only accept one fixed set of design 
     rules.  We would like to have the ability to modify certain 
     instructions particular to various part numbers.  In other words, have 
     a list of "recipes" to choose from.  Can anyone relate to this?  Thank 
     you in advance for your responses.
     
     HOPPE

I would recommend you contact VALOR, the Genesis 2000 CAM package has a very
good copper balancing DFM which applies copper thief as defined by the user.
The system offers total flexibility with respect to shape, size, spacing
distance from features etc. and includes a good graphic review of the copper
distribution before and afterwards.
