hello, i'm having a bit of trouble with how fills connect to thru-holes. first, the book says, "a fill will adopt a net name if the first corner is placed on an object which has a net name." well i'm starting a fill right on thru-hole CR31_1, and then when i drag out a fill and then double-click on the fill to check out its characteristics, its got "no net" shown for the net. what's wrong here? am i doing something wrong or does it not perform as advertised?
and issue #2: ok, i shrug my shoulders and go ahead and assign the desired net to the fill by selecting one in the fill's dialog box and then refresh the view. i've still got problems. i don't see how the fill physically connects to the thru-holes that its connected to. i would expect to see the fill slip in and cover the annular ring, possibly with thermal reliefs, but i'm not seeing anything like that. the drill holes are blue and then the annular rings (pad) are gray and then there's a thin purple ring around all this (solder mask?). the fill i've put in flows around other nodes that it should be connected to and a few that it isn't connected to. the fill comes to the edge of the purple ring on all the thru-holes, both ones connected to the node and those that aren't. i'm not getting a warm fuzzy on this. any suggestions would be appreciated. thank you, miker * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 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] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
