Space Design and _SP_AREA layer - How to make it work?

Al Hart said:



Specifying Faces to use for areas

Use Layer Name

Place the face in a special layer:


  • If you place a face in the layer _SP_AREA within a component or group, it will use that face (including scaling) to determine the area of the Component or Group

Dear Al,

I have tried to use the layer _SP_AREA to calculate the area within Component or Group.

It doesn't work.

I tried:

- move the face to the layer _SP_AREA

- move the face with edges to the layer _SP_AREA

and none of them work.

Any reason?

Regards

Gregory

You are right.

I just tried it as it failed. But if I use the layer _SD_AREA it works.

I'll go and fix the documentation.

Al,

Thank you. It works!

_SD_AREA seems more natural.

PS. Dear other users please note that the attribute is case sensitive - it has to be _SD_AREA

Regards

Gregory
