Hi Wayne, Go to Rules> Design Rules > Placement> Room Definition, then create an All_Comp_Class and then define your XY co-ord's for the area you want to keep you comp's restricted too.
Hope this helps...

I need to create two strips on either end of a board that are completely void of components. Its ok to place traces in these areas but not components. How do I set up a design rule to check for violations? I could draw keep outs but that would keep out traces as well - which is what I dont want.
