Power plane connection

Former Member

Hi all. First post (question) so be gentle. I cannot find how to connect a power plane to a component (Allegro ACS hall effect sensor) Eagle (as expected) leaves a clearence between the said chip and the polygon power plane. Is there an easy way to be rid of this clearence to allow the sensor to join the full plane?

 

Thanks.

    Hello,

     

    If you have connected it to the power rail in the schematics and correctly named the polygon you are using for the power plane in the layout it should automatically connect the power pins of the device to your power plane. The only other thing I can think is maybe the thermal relief is stopping it connecting? If you are sure you have checked all this already then we might need a little more info to help you work out what is going on.
