Copper pour around pin

jatins
jatins over 3 years ago

Hi 

I have a 3-pin through hole connector in my design. And 1 of these 3 pins is connected to Ground.

I want to increase the distance between this GND Pin and the surrounding Copper Pour on that layer as shown below

so that the tracks from Hole to surrounding Copper Pour become longer: 

Is there a nice way to do this without affecting the whole design.

Thanks

    Check that Pins are enabled in Find and no commands are active. Select the Pin, or Pins. Hover over the selection (just the Pin if there is only one), right-click>Property Edit, in the Property Editor, locate Dyn_Clearance_Oversize_Array and left-click to add the Property. Then left-click>Assign and assign the oversize value to the required Layer(s), or Layer Group(s), OK through the forms to accept the change.
