Ground planes at rigid/flex transition

bpTech
bpTech over 9 years ago

When I define a flex zone it automatically generates a Route Keepout shape on the layers that do not exist in the flex stackup. But these keepouts are exactly aligned with the edge of the flex region, which allows the dynamic planes in the rigid sections to go right to the edge. I could manually move the edges of all the keepout shapes on the plane layers to match the keepin area but this requires a manual edit on every edge of every plane layer. Is there some way to make the keepouts match automatically?

    can you z-copy on the flex zone and expand by x ammount?  it would expand the route keep out probably too far in the X-direction (in your pic), but it would extend it in the Y-direction too as required.
