Hi. I have a two layer board and I made a ground plane zone on top and bottom after I finished the layout and routing. When I sent the board to the freedfm.com website it said I had traces too narrow, and the pictures showed that the "traces" were all little fingers of the zones that went into narrow places. I realize that I can increase the grid size, or change the clearance settings to help eliminate this, but then it makes ragged edges around pads and does not completely eliminate the problem. It seems what we need is a setting for a "minimum fill width" or something of the sort that would keep the zone from filling an area that is narrower than the setting. Does this make sense?
Another problem I have is that I made vias to connect the top and bottom ground zones together better, but when I delete the zone fill and re-fill it goes around the vias. So I right click on the via and under the "Change width" menu it says "Change Net", but when I click it nothing happens. The net for the via is not changed. Am I missing something, or is this not working correctly? Thanks, Moses McKnight
