DRC error when through holes or vias are at the edge Dynamic shape

Santosh Vema

Hello,

I'm wondering if there is an option to enable DRC error when through holes or vias are at the edge of the dynamic copper and make a cut in the shape like below. 
Or even if there is an option to find these locations easily.


Thanks

  • u can place a shape in a route keepout layer where u do not wish to place vias at the edge of the dynamic shape.

    drc errors show up where vias are located in the route keepout shape.

    in the property of the shape in the route keepout layer, u need to set the shapes_allowed item true (maybe routes_allowed as well).

    u need to make sure u update the dynamic shape so that the shape in the route keepout layer does not affect the dynamic shape.

    if u have many dynamic shapes to check, i would not do this way as setting shapes in the route keepout is tedious.

    i would rather have a visual check on the shapes.

    Thanks for your suggestions. I do have a lot of dynamic shapes. I did a manual visual check on the shapes as of now. Just wanted to know if there was an easy method for finding these things.
