Overview

This section provides a brief overview of the Directional Length tables.

The directional length is the minimum length of the straight routable portion connected to a port.

In Data Setup, this table should be assigned to:

  • when using file-based tables, the Directional Length item in the resource table of Raceway Design Resources.
  • when using Engineering Specification objects, a specification in the resource table of Raceway Specification Resources.
