Layer specific keepouts have been a recent topic but I wonder if anyone has discovered that you can assign a net to a layer specific keepout?
I have this board that is mounted to 10mm bosses on an aluminium chassis, and the screw head is smaller (~6mm) allowing different clearances on top and bottom. Obviously I don't want to run tracks on the bottom side of the board where the mounts are, so I placed a bottom keepout circle/arc. I do however wish to pour a GND polygon which includes these mounting holes. I simply assigned the net GND to the keepout circle and it's so simple it works! All other bottom tracks cause a (wanted) DRC error, and the GND polygon pours right over the keepout arc as if it wasn't there. I tried all other permutations with nets/polygons etc and it all works as expected. I hope this is of use to someone else. Cheers, Brendon. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
