Compare Keepout Shapes

EdwinB

Hi experts,

Is there a way to compare the KEEPOUT Shapes (KOS) between designs? For example, I have an ECO board that I would like to know what/which KOS changed? Is there a way to compare the eco with the original board? If so, how do I go about it? Also, is there a Skill code available to do this check?

Thanks,

Edwin B

    An easy way to do this would be to generate an artwork film for your original board keepout layer and import it into the new board on a documentation layer to do the comparison.

    Hi Dave,

    Thank you for your reply. I'll do as you've suggested. Hopefully, this will resolve my issue.

    Edwin.

    Hi Dave,

    How do you create a 'documentation layer' when the available Class is limited to Etch, Board Geometry, Drawing Format, and Manufacturing? I tried creating a KOZ layer as a subclass on each of the available Class definitions but somehow the artwork won't show. Might be something wrong with how I made the layer. How do you go about it?

    Thanks,

    Ed

    I would just create a temporary layer in any non-etch class. Say MANUFACTURING/COMPARE
