I could not find an explanation of the following on the allegro interface.

Can you please explain what they are used for.
  1. Auto_Confirm SSM Save. I assume this is to keep from overriding existing SSM files?
  2. NO PROBE
  3. EXCESS
 
Thanks!

We will update the Allegro Interface instructions. But in the meantime,

  1. Certain versions of Allegro will pop a confirmation box when a SSM (complex pad stack) goes to save. This option is to auto-confirm it if you have one of those versions. Normally its off and you turn it on if you get annoying confirmation boxes at the end of a complex pad stack save. If you don’t, you’re good.

  2. NO PROBE – This will place a shape on the No Probe layer that will match the selected constraints. The options for constraints are Component Body, the Footprint Extents, or the Courtyard.
  3. EXCESS – This expands or contracts the NO PROBE extents by a static amount in millimeters. Has no effect if there is no NO PROBE area selected.
