Description

Job Matrix

The Job Matrix contains a row for each layer in the step of the product model. Layer color reflects layer type. The positioning of the layers reflects the layer stackup.

If HDI technology layers are present in EDA data, they are displayed above or below the relevant top or bottom component layers. They cannot be edited.

The Job Matrix columns represent the following:

Layer Parameters — The basic layer characteristics.
Layer Attributes in the Job Matrix — Layer properties that add intelligence to the product model data.
Drill or rout spans — The left-most column displays a representation of drill and rout spans, with the arrows indicating the drill direction. There is a span bar for each drill and rout ayer.

The span bars appear as solid lines, except for the layers with the subtype “backdrill” whose span bars appear as dotted lines.

See “Using the Read-Only Job Matrix”.

Layer Attributes

Lists the layer attributes and their values as described in “Layer Attributes in the Job Matrix”.

See “Controlling the Display of Layer Attribute Columns”.

Layer View

Displays a thumbnail graphic of the layer selected in the Job Matrix. See “Viewing Layers in the Job Matrix”.
