How can I change clearance from 'Route Keepout' area to Shape?

jonathanhe2017

Hello. I have 'Route Keepout (filled rectangular)' on TOP layer of many component footprint. And when the GND shape on top layer is filled (Smooth), the clearance between the GND shape and the Route Keepout rectangular is zero. I would like to change it to have some space between them. But I cannot find the setup for this clearance. Could you please let me know? Thank you.

    You can't. A route Keppout area is exactly what it says. You need to increase the size of the keepout area to get what you need.

    Thanks for your reply. I did see other designs have certain space between Keepout area and copper plane (using older version 16.x). Also, there are some DRC errors 'Shape to Route Keepout Spacing' (not all of them) (Required value: 0 mm. Actual Value: 0 mm ..). You can see at the right side of the attached picture. It is because the inner round corner of the copper plane overlapping the Keepout area. How can I eliminate this type of DRC errors?

    Use the property DYN_CLEARANCE_OVERSIZE

    This works perfectly for me. And it fixed all my DRC issues. Thank you Dave to let me know that I need to start to learn on properties.
