Polygon Dimension spacing

autodeskguest

'Nother n00b question!

 

How do you increase the distance a polygon gets 'ratsnested' from the

dimension.  Even if the isolate is set to 10 mil, it separates itself

much more than that from the outside of the board.

Thanks.

    Your polygon is too far inside the dimension, so there is actually no

    distance. Just place it outside the dimension, then eagle can calculate

    the distance.Don't mix things up. Distance is between copper and

    dimension, isolate is between conducting parts.

     

     

    No.  I don't think so... The polygon was way outside the dimension

    layer.  Only when it's ratsnested did it get very far away from the

    dimension layer.  It's just annoying having to increase the size of the

    board so that the polygon can merge together behind a pad or something.

     

    What do you mean "Distance is between copper and dimension?"  I think I

    may be missing something vital.

     

    Thanks, though.
