The instruction below is not correct. A primary or outer plane CAN completely enclose any number of secondary planes, it is secondary planes that must not enclose any other secondary planes. The example diagram in the manual is a little misleading in that it doesn't specifically show the outermost plane. Read the caption carefully. (P.571 in 99 manual)

You must "break" the margin of the Primary Plane toward the edge of the board to create a gap in the Primary Plane for each Secondary Plane. Protel's Help system has an example, I believe. Check Plane current density and signal layer paths to determine the best place to create these gaps. <snip> Brian * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 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] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
