wiring on a defined plane ***help***

 OK, I know I've done this before, but I don't remember the setup:

I want to have a dynamic plane (like VCC) to contain wiring of other nets. So, when I start the wiring, the "shape" will create the "shape to line spacing" I setup in constraint manager.   (kinda like auto voiding)

Right now, I am getting drc errors and the "voiding" is not happening even though the drc says the contsraint should be 10 mil, I am getting 0 mil

    Is the shape you've drawn dynamic or static ? If it's static it will not auto void and tracks you draw. Try Shape - Change shape type, then look to the Options menu and make sure the type is set to Dynamic copper then lmb the shape.
