Maintaining the rules for tight pin areas can be timing consuming. Manually making changes to tight-pin areas takes up time you could be using to concentrate on more important tasks. OrCAD helps you eliminate the need for manual checks and changes through constraint regions. You define constraints physical and spacing constraints for specific regions and OrCAD automatically follows these constraints when routing.
