Vias without Thermals

e14 Contributor
e14 Contributor over 14 years ago

I know this has been asked before , but I cannot locate a thread with an

answer.

 

I have Eagle 4.16,  what is the easiest way to eliminate the thermals

around specific vias. ( not all vias)

After some though, strategically placed polygons would make sense (and

ignore the drc errors)

 

any other suggestions?

 

Thanks

 

Martin

    There is not a DRC error if you ensure the polygon placed over the via has

    the same name as the via.

    Also ensure that this smaller polygon overlaying the via has its 'Thermals'

    property turned off.

     

    Worked for me and a pleasure to use 4.16 again.

     

    See image. The DRC has been run and shows an intended drill size error for

    the lower via but no errors occur in the area of the upper via.
