DRC error: route keepout spacing

masamasa

hello

i have a route keepout spacing error.

i do know that i can allow "vias", "routes" (clines), "pins" and "shapes" in the keepout shape area by changing the shape properties.

but i get this "line to keepout spacing" error as i place a text into a keepout area.

is there any way to allow a text or a line into a keepout shape area by changing the shape properties?

    The only option I believe you have Is to manually void the text so draw a void inside the shape to clear the text.

    thank you for your advice.

    based on your advice, i voided the text from the shape by exporting the text gerber out, outlining the text lines and imported the outer lines into pcb editor.

    thank you again, steve
