keepout problem on pac

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

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.
