minSize (oacMinSize)


Description

The built-in layer constraint definition oacMinSize determines the minimum length and width combination for any geometry on the specified layer. oacMinSize constraints use a set of boxes to represent the minimum size. To determine if a piece of geometry meets this constraint, iterate through the list of boxes and try to fit each box inside your piece of geometry. If any of the boxes fit, the constraint has been met.

Manufacturing Reasons

The minimum size rules limit the size of geometries to ensure that they have a pattern large enough to fabricate.
