Lets say we want to create a spacing region:
& e( Y$ d+ r* E! _ R: q* r6 o% G& Z4 S2 V, X& V: y
Open constraint manager and create a Spacing Rule set for the constraint region.& u+ B6 Y- [+ o% I" Y" A( b
1. Open Constraint Manager on the board file.
! E7 Q6 R5 g5 B0 L3 @' q2. Select Spacing > All Layers worksheet # G- \4 b1 m5 W, Y7 ?# b y
3. RMB on the Objects and select Create Spacing CSet 1 G+ c- M5 e9 J) [ y
4. Type the name of Spacing CSet and change the pin to pin constraints that allow
$ ~9 B8 D. p7 H7 B- Vpin to pin spacing for the 'special' component.% v3 L! B8 i7 z* i- K- g. J% G5 ^
- Q! K' B* ~# B* R
Now create a region and assign a spacing CSet to the region.
# V, d' v: V( e( ]1. In Constraint Manager, select Region > All Layers

the Spacing CSet that you had created in the previous step. The rules of the" W8 Q! ?/ d' @, O) @2 G
