Re: [PEDA] Split plane / internal layer shortcicuit?

[Harry Selfridge]

The net connected to the split plane is the net within the boundary of the 
split.  Your split (+3.3V island) as described will be fine as long as you 
are careful not to place a via or pad for either the +5V or +3.3V nets on 
the boundary between the two plane regions.  Protel has problems deciding 
what net to connect when the connection is made on the split 
boundary-sometimes both nets get connected (read short).

Hello forum members.

I'm running protel 99SE sp6

I've made a +5V plane on an internal layer, using a split
plane that covers the entire layer. In the middle of the
layer, I'd like to place another split plane with +3.3V.
Is this safe to do without risking a shortcircuit between
the two split planes or would one need to create an
'inner border' for the +5V plane? How would that be done?
