keepout problem on pac

Former Member

Hi,

 

I am creating an overlay button landing zone, and am creating a pattern on the top layer attached to pads, however the keepout on the pad throws a drc error where I need it to make contact with the landing pattern. does anyone know how to fix this?

 

TIA

    Hi,

     

    I am creating an overlay button landing zone, and am creating a

    pattern

    on the top layer attached to pads, however the keepout on the pad

    throws

    a drc error where I need it to make contact with the landing pattern.

    does anyone know how to fix this?

     

     

    Are you trying to create a component keepout or a copper keepout?

     

    Copper keepout is layer 41 (tRestrict) where as the component keepout would

    be layer 39 (tKeepout).  Any copper inside a tRestrict area will cause a

    DRC error.  For a component keepout, use tKeepout and any place where

    objects on that layer overlap you'll get a DRC error--so every component

    needs to have that defined for it.
