Unconnected copper

archive
archive over 17 years ago

Is there a way to prevent Allegro V16.01 with "Performance Option L" from generating unconnected copper shapes when I create a copper pour area around circuitry ? Do I have to place many "Route Keepout" areas ? Any help would be appreciated.

    When you're creating the "pour areas" (adding shapes), make sure you use the "Assign Net" function after you've drawn the shape you require. If you don't assign it, it will be a dummy net. Should be easy for you.

    Good day.
