When you select user defined, your terminal width is defined based on the location<br />

of the Component port. The point at which the port is placed on the polygon edge<br />

becomes the center of the terminal width extending an equal distance on either<br />

side.<br />

This ability to limit the terminal width size is important in cases where more than<br />

one Component port needs to connect to the same polygon edge or the polygon<br />

edge is extremely large. The next two images demonstrate these concepts.<br />

The component has two terminals connected to a single polygon edge. The<br />

cell size is 2 mils and the user-defined terminal width is 8 mils as shown.<br />
