Layout Plus 9.2 - Footprint copper area obstacle not printing

rmarques

Hello,

I designed a footprint that had a copper area obstacle that is correctly showing in the board design window but is not printed to the .xps file (I use an etching process for my boards). If I create an obstacle directly in the design window it is correctly printed. I would like to stress out that this: http://www.orcad.com/documents/community.faqs/layout/lay03088.aspx is not the problem because the copper area obstacle shows up in the board design window.

Thank you in advance,

Rúben

    Just to add, I tried to increase the width of the obstacle line and though it doesn't change much the shape of the obstacle now the copper area is filled correctly when I print. I feel this is a workaround and not the correct way to solve the problem. Is there other way to do this?
