Hatched Shape Fill Percentage

melview1
melview1 over 2 years ago

Hi~

I'm looking to create a hatched shape (GND) on an entire layer, but I want to specify the copper percentage used.  I would like it to be only 10% copper on the layer.  Other than maybe doing a bunch of math with line widths, is there a way to specify this in any property menus?  I haven't found anything yet.

Thanks,

Mark

    Good idea.  I have other copper on the layer, but I could probably delete it all and hatch with the settings that I think are 10% and verify.  Thanks.
