How to create exception shape area from dynamic shape?

ichliebedich

Hi All,

normally I use the dynamic shape when we place the copper on the board with KEEPIN ROUTE prop.

but how can I set the exception area from dynamic copper area?

for instance, I want to except that area (red hatch below) from dynamic copper, but I can't control the KEEPIN ROUTE area, because it also included the clines as well

I only want to except the shape GND area on that red zone

regards,
