PCB Editor Dynamic Etch Shape Issue

RBATES15
RBATES15 over 8 years ago

I'm running into an odd problem. I have two pins on an SOIC-8 that are next to each other and tied to the same net. I'm trying to lay a dynamic shape over the two pins to connect them together along with some pins on some other parts close by. For some reason, no etch will form between the two pins when I cover them with the shape. What I can do is create a small shape between the two pins. That works until I try to merge the two shapes together. When I do that the shape between the pins disappears. It doesn't seem to be a constraint manager issue. Any suggestions?

    Solved my own problem. I had "Create pin void" set as inline with a 50 mils placing. Reducing the spacing fixed the issue.
