In this tech tip, we will explore how you can clear a routed trace pattern on multiple conductive layers.<\/p>\n
In this design, the requirement is to have these traces on layer 7 to be cleared in the exact same pattern on the conductive areas which are poured on layers 6, 7 and 8.<\/p>\n
In this completed example you will see we have these traces routed and they have been cleared on the plane on layer 7.\u00a0 Also, take note that the routed traces have clearances defined on layers 6 and 8.<\/p>\n
During today\u2019s tech tip I am going to show you how it’s done!<\/p>\n
What we will need is an only track keepout inhibit layer defined that are associated with layers 6 and 8.\u00a0 To set this up I will launch the technology editor.\u00a0 First I will create a user-defined layer and call it InhibitTrack_Layers_6_8.\u00a0 Next, I will right click over the new user-defined layer and select associate with the conductive layer.\u00a0 In this next dialog, I will select both layers 6 and 8 and then set the Layer Type to \u201cOnly track keepout\u201d and then select Association.\u00a0 Now take note that this layer is associated with layers 6 and 8.<\/p>\n
Next, I will set the active layer to InhibitTrack_Layers_6_8 and I will select the Figure tab and select Offset.<\/p>\n
Now I will use the Offset function located on the Figure tab of the ribbon.<\/p>\n
In the parameters, dialog set the \u201cMode\u201d to Area Fill and then set the direction to Outside.\u00a0 Then set the offset value to .1.\u00a0 Next, I will frame select the traces and the offset is generated on to InhibitTrack_Layers_6_8<\/p>\n
So far so good!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
