显示每项违例的细节,本例的丝印与焊盘的间隔少于10mil.
6. 显示每项违例的细节, 如上图所示。注意用户可以通过 View Configurations 窗口内的 DRC
Detail Markers 配置违例的图形显示颜色。
7. 需要找出所有实际违反丝印与焊盘间安全间距规则约束的对象,可以选择菜单
Reports?Measure Primitives 命令。注意,用户可以通过快捷功能按键 CTRL+G 修改电气栅格的值。如5mil。
8. To resolve this error we can either modify the footprint, increasing the separation, or we
can edit the design rule, decreasing the required separation. For this tutorial we will edit the design rule, to do this select Design?Rules from the menus to open the PCB Rules and Constraints Editor dialog.
9. In the Manufacturing category, open the Silkscreen Over Component Pads rule type,
and click on the existing rule.
10. Edit the Silkscreen Over Exposed Component Pads Clearance value, changing it from
10mil to 9mil.
These pads are closer than the 13mil specified in the Clearance Constraint design rule.
? 运用习惯上与检查晶体管上焊盘间的安全间距相同的技术,检查阻焊数据与焊盘之间的间隙。 Switch back to the PCB document and you will see that the transistor pads are highlighted in green, indicating a design rule violation.
1. Look through the errors list in the Messages panel. It lists any violations that occur in
the PCB design. Notice that there are four violations listed under the Clearance Constraint rule. The details show that the pads of transistors Q1 and Q2 violate the 13mil clearance rule.
2. Double-click on an error in the Messages panel to jump to its location on the PCB.
Normally you would set up the clearance constraint rules before laying out your board, taking account of routing technologies and the physical properties of the devices. Let's analyze the error then review the current clearance design rules and decide how to resolve this situation.
3. Open the PCB Rules and Constraints Editor dialog (Design?Rules). Expand the
Electrical, then the Clearance rule type. There will be one Clearance design rule, click on it to display its settings.
4. Note that this rule requires All objects to be away from All other objects, at least 13mil.
Since the clearance between the transistor pads is less than this, they generate a violation when we run a DRC.
5. We know that the minimum distance between the transistor pads is just over 10mil, so
let's set up a design rule that allows the clearance constraint of 10mil for the transistors only.
6. Select the Clearance type rule in the Design Rules folder on the left of the dialog,
right-click on it, then select New Rule to add a new clearance constraint rule. 7. Click on the new Clearance rule, Clearance_1. Change the Name to
Clearance_Transistors, and set the Minimum Clearance to 10mil in the Constraints
section.
8. The final task is to set the Scope, or Full Query for the rule. There are a number of ways
the rule could be scoped, the most appropriate in this case would be to target the rule to any component that uses the transistor footprint. To do that, select the Advanced (Query) option (in the upper section of the dialog), then click the *Query Builder button to open the Building Query from Board dialog.
9. Click Condition/Type Operator dropdown to Add first condition, and select Associated
with Footprint from the list.
10. Set the Condition Value to BCY-W3/E4 (the footprint type being used by the transistor),
then click OK to close the dialog. The new design rule should look like the figure shown below.
Design rule to set the clearance for all components using a specific footprint.
11. Click OK to close the PCB Rules and Constraint Editor dialog. The online DRC will run
automatically, clearing the errors.
12. To confirm that the transistor pad clearance violations have been resolved, run the
batch design rule check again (Tools?Design Rule Check). When the report opens scroll down and confirm that there are no violations.

现在,用户就完成了PCB版图的设计,然后可以开始产生输出数据文档。不过,在产生输出制造数据之前,用户还可以利用Altium Designer的三维视图功能查看自己设计的PCB板。
在3D模式下查看电路板设计
现在,您的电路板设计已经基本完成,是时候研究一下它
的3D模式了。3D模式,可以让您从任何角度观察您设计的板。要在PCB编辑器中切换到3D,只需选择View>>Switch To 3D [快捷键: 3]或者从列表中的PCB标准工具栏中选择一个3D视图配置。
Altium Designer软件的3D环境的要求支持是DirectX及相关技术,并使用一个兼容块独立的显卡。对于如何测试您的系统,以及让Altium Designer可以使用DirectX,打开Preferences对话框中的PCB Editor - Display (Tools>>Preferences)。
图6-30 3D旋转展示图
您可以滑动变换大小来看,旋转,甚至在板中间看,只要您使用如下操作:
缩放——按Ctrl+鼠标右拖,或者Ctrl+鼠标滚轮,或者PAGE UP / PAGE DOWN键。 平移——鼠标滚轮向上/向下,SHIFT+鼠标滚轮向左/右或向右拖动鼠标来向任何方向移动。 旋转——按住SHIFT键进入3D旋转模式。光标处以一个定向圆盘的方式来表示(图6-11)。该模型的旋转运动是基于圆心的,使用以下方式控制: 用鼠标右拖曳圆盘Center Dot,任意方向旋转视图。 用鼠标右拖曳圆盘Horizontal Arrow,关于Y轴旋转视图。 用鼠标右拖曳圆盘Vertical Arrow,关于X轴旋转视图。 用鼠标右拖曳圆盘Circle Segment,在Y-plane中旋转视图。
您可以使用View Configurations对话框[快捷键: L]来设定3D工作区的显示选项。可以选择各种表面和工作区的颜色以及垂直尺度,这样可以得心应手的来检查PCB的内部。一些表面有一种不透明的设置——越大的透明度的值越大,越少表示的光通过表面的光强度越小,使物体背面后面不明显。您也可以选择显示3D物体本身或者以2D层的颜色来着色该3D对象。
您可以将3D STEP格式模型导入到元器件的封装和PCB设计中并创建自己的3D物体。您也可以以STEP和DWG / DXF格式来输出PCB文件,以便运用到用于其他程序中。3D Vviewer可以导入VRML 1.0/IGES/STEP格式的3D物件,也可以导出IGES和STEP格式的3D物件。 注:任何时候在3D模式下,您可以以各种分辨率创建实时\快照(snapshots)\,使用CTRL + C复制,这样就可以将图像(Bitmap格式)存储在Windows剪贴板中,用于其他应用程序。
