Prevent routing on adjacent layers without affecting pour

FilipSwe
FilipSwe 7 months ago

Hello,

I have a sensitive trace on layer 2 and I would like to prevent any routing along or across it on adjacent layers (L1 and L3).

My idea was to use a route keepout shape on L1 and L3, however that also removed the ground pour on those layers and I would like to keep the ground pour.

Can I get around this somehow or should I use something else than route keepout?

Regards,

Filip

    Try adding the 'Shapes_Allowed' property to the keepout shape
