Route keep-in : is behavior different with Expert license verses PCB Designer license?

avant
avant over 2 years ago

I received a customer board. It has copper shapes extending outside of the board outline. It has a route keep-in shape inside of the board outline.

It appears their Expert license trims copper outside of the route keep-in.

My PCB Designer license does not, I only see DRCs.

Is this true? Is there some setting I' missing?

I need to send my customer an explanation.

    Never mind. I found the variable that controls this.

    Under Setup/User Preferences/Shapes/General 

    Check the box labelled: shape_rki_autoclip
