Non-Existent Keepout

autodeskguest

Hi,

 

I'm using a back-rev version of Eagle, 6.5.  I've designed a library part

for a non-standard inductor with an odd shape and height.  There are only 3

items in the library for this part: 2 pads and a top keepout layer.

 

I've placed all my components on the board, did an ERC and a DRC, and there

are no errors.  Then I routed the board OK.  I was just moving around some

component names so they aren't on top of vias when I noticed a keep out

area on the top of my board.  After scratching my head, I realized the keep

out is from the inductor, but the inductor is placed on the bottom of the

board.  I confirmed that the keepout on the bottom of the mirrored part is

there, and that if I move the inductor the top keep out moves along with

it.

 

There's a FET sitting on top of the top keep out, so obviously the keep out

isn't doing anything, especially since DRC didn't complain.

 

Any ideas what might be causing this?  I'm guessing this is a display

problem and not a design problem.

 

Thanks,

 

Dave

  • Hi Warren, Morten and Rob,

     

    Thanks for the replies.  I REALLY appreciate them.

     

    OK, Warren's comments did it.  I have to blame this on every one of my

    employee.  (Yes, singular is intended.)  Sorry, an inexperienced user's

    brain lock.  Though I turned layers on and off many times in the .brd, I

    didn't think of doing that in the .lbr.  DOH!

     

    Thanks again for enlightening me, and I apologize for having wasted your

    time.
