Mechanical Hole to Dynamic Shape Spacing

VinCT
VinCT over 6 years ago

I have a copper pour(dynamic shape) around a non plate through mechanical hole that is always 20mils regardless of the Hole to Shape setting in the constraint manager.  There is a property in the hole that I can set to reduce the spacing but I would think this should be able to be done globally through the constraint manager. I also did a force update between setting changes.

The hole has no keep outs. Is there a setting in the constraint manager I am missing?

(Allegro 17.2 with the latest hotfix)

    Can't see your board but dynamic shapes to mech holes will follow the MECH_PIN_TO_CONDUCTOR_SPACING rule that is in Constraint Manager->Analyze->Analysis Modes

    Once in that menu, it's under Design->Mechanical Spacing->Mechanical Drill to Conductor Spacing
