Shape Within A Shape

archive

Hi, On a negative embedded plane I have a shape totally enclosed within a shape. The artwork graphic is showing the enclosed shape only as a black void. Do I still need to add a line around the enclosed shape for proper Gerber 6x00 artwork gerneration? Thanks.

    Just a follow up. I played with the dynamic positive shapes for my planes on my board and was not overly impressed with the quality of the results. I tweaked the parameters to get the results I desired yet I was left with multiple unconnects and some sloppy looking thermal relief connects (with best contacts). Maybe if you could pick and choose which thermals you choose to use 'best contact' after the initial 4/3 spoke run? I was surprised that this dynamic function would require manual manipulation (completing unconnects and cleanup) on my part. I decided to bail and go back to my 'cleaner' negative plane design and managed to leave a gap from the shape outside edge to alleviate the shape within a shape. I verify proper thermal connections by importing the plane artworks which is rather quick.
