Plane Clearance on Non Round pads - Designer 10.589
« on: September 20, 2013, 10:33:04 pm »
I have a bit of an issue I've not encountered before. The Internal Plane clearance doesn't seem to avoid non-round pads properly. I have to enlarge the spacing to ridiculous proportions to clear the pads. I don't recall having this problem previously, but that might be because I almost never use through hole parts.

I tried fixing it in DRE like InPolygon (but InPlane, instead). I mustn't have the correct syntax as I got an error.

I can split the plane around the connectors I don't want affected. But is there a more elegant solution?

My Google-Fu is weak tonight, I guess.  :-//

Go into 3d view and fly inside the board. I'll bet you'll find that the inner rings are perfect circles, not ovals like the outer layers.

Ah - of course. I didn't even have to do this to know you're exactly right.

Man...some days I'm a real moron. Hahah.
