How to set the spacing between planes/clines to the outline

JacobL

Hello,

I want to set a rule for the spacing between planes and clines to the outline. I also want the dynamic shapes to fill the area and leave the spacing to the outline automatically.

 Thanks in advance,

Jacob

    Try using the command Edit - Zcopy to copy your board outline to Route Keepin / All. You can contract your outline by a set distance and create a keepin for routes to the board outline. Use zcopy for the dynamic shapes as well.

    Hello!

    Thanks for the reply. I couldn't z-copy as the outline was from an DXF file and made up of several "lines". I did instead draw a copy of the outline to the Route Keepin /all layer. Seams to work well. I remember there was some way to group lines but I tried the group temp feature under z-copy and it didn't work...

     You're looking for Shape->Compose Shape.

    That is the command that will fill in the gaps from DXFs.  Need to poke around a bit with the command as it can be picky.
