[PEDA] Polygons keepouts (was Serious Bug: Polygons still connecting to pads...)
I think the problem is that this is an ambiguous situation. Keepouts only prevent track from crossing -- you can have track on either side of it. Even if it's a closed figure, you can have track inside. So if a polygon keepout area overlap, where does the polygon start from? Which part of the polygon should not pour? (And remember that a designer might look at any specific case and say it's obvious, but the program would have to determine this for ANY abitrary keepout and polygon.) -Original Message- From: Wayne Trow [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 11:39 AM I've had this problem with keepout tracks. I place the track to control where the polygon will pour therefore the polygon is there when I place the track hence the track picks up the net name. I edit the porperties of the track and change from GND (usually) to No_Net and check keepout. The online drc then shows the error as it should. BUT If I repour the polygon it ignores the different net keepout and acts as if the keepout isn't even there. Similar but different problem.

Re: [PEDA] Polygons keepouts (was Serious Bug: Polygons still connecting to pads...)
I see I opened my mouth just wide enough to get my foot stuck... Brad et al are quite right, it is (or should be!) well defined and there's definitely a bug there. I confirmed this on one installation (win98, 99SEsp6). One additional note -- the bug occurs even when remove dead copper is not checked. -Original Message- From: Abd ul-Rahman Lomax [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 3:21 PM At 01:02 PM 2/12/2002 -0800, Dwight wrote: I think the problem is that this is an ambiguous situation. snip The keepout, presumably, is a collection of tracks.
