Area arround pin- PCB designer

KrzysztofB
KrzysztofB over 9 years ago

Hello Everyone,

I have problem with pins that I used as mounting holes.

Some addidional copper void area is arround and I do not want it.

That component is not only mechanical pin, because I have added
it to schematic and grounded. 

Where I can find option to make that void area disabled?

I am using PCB Designer Professional 16.6.

Best regards,

Chris

    You could also have a Route Keepout shape as part of the symbol. Open the filename.dra (mechanical symbol) and make sure all the layers are turned on, you should see a copper rectangular shape on Route_Keepout/All. Delete this and then save the symbol and refresh it in the design.
