Tech Tip: Reporting All Wire Widths by Layer using CR-8000 Design Force

Menu

Engineers have been asking is it possible to get a report of the wire width for each routed trace by layer the answer is yes. Using CR-8000 Design force an Object Filter can be created to select only traces on each layer and then a report can be shown reflecting the information using the utility “Pen Width”. This gives the Engineer a quick way of reporting the number of traces and their width for each conductive layer. Below is a video demonstration.
