Polygons

Former Member

We use polygons on ground and other planes but we want to shut them off when

routing manually as they can mask the board and make it hard to route when

they are on the top or bottom plane. Is there a simple way to turn them on

and off.

Thanks,

rob

    SET POLYGON OFF;

     

    After that, RATSNEST won't calculate the polygons (until you turn it on

    again). To also hide the related airwires, use "RATSNEST ! GND" (for

    example).

     

    Or, after RATSNEST and before routing, enter "RIPUP @;" which will

    display all polygons as outlines only.
