Copper Pour Clearance Clarification

lakers024
lakers024 over 7 years ago

In Orcad Layout, I am wondering what the clearance option for Copper Pour Rules,in the edit obstacle menu,  means and what happens if I decide to change the clearance option? Does changing the clearance option increase the distance between traces and vias to that particular copper pour area or obstacle ?

    In OrCAD Layout, IF the Copper Pour Obstacle Clearance value is 0, the Global Spacing values are used for the clearances, IF the Copper Pour Obstacle Clearance value is not 0, that value is used - this value can be larger, or smaller than the Global Spacing values.
