Parametrize Layout#

You can parametrize stackup, materials, padstacks and traces of an existing 3D Layout design and also and change the size of voids and polygons to conduct corner analysis.

The extension is accessible through the icon created by the Extension Manager in the Automation tab.

The following image shows the extension user interface:

Parametrize Layout UI

The available arguments are: aedb_path, design_name, parametrize_layers, parametrize_materials, parametrize_padstacks, parametrize_traces, nets_filter, expansion_polygon_mm, expansion_void_mm, relative_parametric, project_name.

aedb_path and design_name define the source aedb project. parametrize_layers, parametrize_materials, parametrize_padstacks, parametrize_traces define which part of the aedb has to be parametrized while the nets_filter defines which net has to be included. expansion_polygon_mm and expansion_void_mm define if and which value of expansion has to be applied on polygons and voids. relative_parametric defines if the parameters have to be considered as a delta of the original value. project_name is the new project name.

The extension user interface can also be launched from the terminal. An example can be found here:
