# IPCB_AdvancedPlacerOptions interface

The automatic component placement settings of a PCB document, returned by [`IPCB_Board.PlacerOptions`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/pcb/IPCB_Board.md#placeroptions).

```csharp
public interface IPCB_AdvancedPlacerOptions : IPCB_AbstractOptions
```

**Namespace:** PCB · **Assembly:** Altium.SDK.Interfaces

**Inherits:** [IPCB_AbstractOptions](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/pcb/IPCB_AbstractOptions.md)

## Remarks

The interface extends [`IPCB_AbstractOptions`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/pcb/IPCB_AbstractOptions.md). [`Export_ToParameters`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/pcb/IPCB_AbstractOptions.md#export_toparameters) writes every setting as a parameter named after its property; [`Import_FromParameters`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/pcb/IPCB_AbstractOptions.md#import_fromparameters) reads them.

## Properties

| Property | Type | Access | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [PlaceByPassNet1](#placebypassnet1) | `string` | get; set |  |
| [PlaceByPassNet2](#placebypassnet2) | `string` | get; set |  |
| [PlaceLargeClear](#placelargeclear) | `int` | get; set | The clearance kept around components with 14 or more pads when components are shoved apart, in internal units (10,000 per mil). |
| [PlaceSmallClear](#placesmallclear) | `int` | get; set | The clearance kept around components with fewer than 14 pads when components are shoved apart, in internal units (10,000 per mil). |
| [PlaceUseAdvancedPlace](#placeuseadvancedplace) | `bool` | get; set |  |
| [PlaceUseGrouping](#placeusegrouping) | `bool` | get; set |  |
| [PlaceUseLayerSwap](#placeuselayerswap) | `bool` | get; set |  |
| [PlaceUseRotation](#placeuserotation) | `bool` | get; set |  |

### PlaceByPassNet1

*No description yet.*

```csharp
string GetState_PlaceByPassNet1();
void SetState_PlaceByPassNet1(string argValue);
