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 ======== Fwd by: Tony King / N ======== 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.
