About Using Analysis Tools for Conductors
You can use commands on the Analysis tab to perform a quick analysis for conductors. An analysis on conductor geometry cannot be saved. Set the Selection filter to Conductor Geometry to facilitate conductor selection.
The following Analysis tools are available for conductor geometry:
Measure—Calculates the following measurements:
Length of a conductor
Distance between conductors
Area of a conductor quilt
Diameter of a conductor
Angle between two conductors
Global Interference—Checks for interference between conductor quilts belonging to different ECAD models in an assembly. Interference between conductors on the same board is not detected. To include conductors in the analysis, click the Include conductor quilts check box in the Global Interference dialog box.
Pairs Clearance—Checks for clearance between conductors belonging to different ECAD models in the assembly. To check for clearance between conductor pairs, click the All conductor quilts check box in the Pairs Clearance dialog box for the From and To components.
