we run into this all the time just don't think of the keep out as the board outline we make the board outline on mech 1 or whatever and then draw the keep out layer either on top of the board layer or inside the the board layer a little bit
in your case you would just bend the keep out layer around the pads by the appropriate amount Dennis Saputelli Schmitt Michael wrote: > > Now to something completly different ... > > I use Protel 99SE SP6 and i want to create / modify my design rules so that > there will be no drc errors if a pad and / or a track is touching the keep > out. > > Imagine a pad placed inside the pcb-outline and keepout's but the outter > diameter of that pad is not inside the keepout as the outer diameter is > bigger than the relative distance of the pad to the keepout. > > the reason is that a have to place pads at the edge of the pcb that there is > no gap between the pad / track an the keepout (the outline of the pcb) so > the copper will be directly at the end of a pcb side ... yes i know that > there should be normaly a gap of about 20-25mil but in this case i realy > need the pads and tracks be placed at the edged .. > > i have tried to setup some design rules like > > Clearance Rule > A: Object Kind (Via; TH-Pad; Tracks/Arcs) > B: Object Kind (KeepOuts) > Any Net > Minimum Clearance 0mil > > but all i enter in these dialog box still produces DRC erros as if it is in > general not allowed to place anything directly with no gap to a keepout. > > well of course i could ignore these messages, but i prefer a final pcb > without any drc error messages. > > any ideas ? > > Dipl.-Ing.
