Isolated Coppers

amose
amose over 13 years ago

I'm new to this tool, is there a way to delete isolated coppers? I created a dynamic copper that floods the outer layers and assigned it to GND. There are some isolated coppers on the board, but when I select the shape and select parameters I can't find any option to delete these isolated coppers.I select that isolated copper and delete it, but it delete the whole shape.

Thanks in advance!

    Shape>Delete Islands, check the Options tab, you probably won't want to "Delete all on Layer", but you might. You can "walk through" the islands and decide what you want to do. Any Deleted Islands will be removed with a Manual Void added by the tool, IF you want the island to return, you will need to use the Shape>Manual Void / Cavity>Delete option to remove them. Possibly best to have just the relevant Etch layer Boundary displayed to do this. After deleting the required islands, right-click>Done in the canvas to end the command.
