Defining of planes such as +ve or -ve.

C Shiva

 Hello everyone,

    How can we define a power or ground plane whether it is positive or negative? I normally define power or ground planes as -ve. But i saw in some reference boards, which were defined as +ve. What is the main difference between these two +ve and -ve planes? Which one is best to define? 

Any reply will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Shiva.

    Hello Rinj,
     
    Thanks for your reply. I also faced the problem. When i working with planes the tool always goes slow. I don't know why it is like it.
