Dan Kemppainen All Messages By This Member #23841 I think they mean achieve (autocorrect???) a top restrict polygon like in eagle. This prevents copper pour wherever Top Restrict shape exists. I don't know the answer, so didn't respond. I'm still using eagle full time, so know exactly what's being asked. :) Dan toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 2/8/2024 9:05 AM, Tony Casey wrote: On 08/02/2024 10:14, Zeriya Amin via groups.io wrote: Hope this mail finds you well!!!

Answering the question clearly isn't always the right thing to do. BTW, is it what mere mortals would call a keep-out? -- Regards, Tony
Alan Pearce All Messages By This Member #23843 I get that impression Tony, but I'm still trying to work out what shape is being used as the keepout boundary. The pin quite clearly has no connection to the top (pink) layer, but is the yellow circle the keepout that is wanted? The question doesn't have enough information to reach the full conclusion. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Thu, 8 Feb 2024 at 16:13, Tony Casey <tony@...> wrote: On 08/02/2024 17:07, Dan Kemppainen wrote: I think they mean achieve (autocorrect???) a top restrict polygon like in eagle.

Zeriya Amin All Messages By This Member #23844 Yellow circle means i require negative copper area at yellow location by using kicad. And by the way i got the answer after surfing on internet, I'll share by tomorrow.

Dan Kemppainen All Messages By This Member #23845 At least in Eagle, tRestrict or bRestrict keeps copper pours out of an area, and will also generate DRC errors for any copper routed through the area. The keepout layer is intended to mark used areas of placed parts to prevent parts overlapping. Or with a polygon to mark locations not to place parts. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 2/8/2024 11:12 AM, Tony Casey wrote: BTW, is it what mere mortals would call a keep-out?
Tony Casey All Messages By This Member #23846 开云体育 Different tools have different interpretations and implementations. As a long time Protel user (read (Altium), I recall keep-out wasn't a layer, it was a designation or property that could be placed on a polygon on any layer, the primary purpose of which was to prevent any copper within that area. I guess, in this case, the OP has maybe imported an Eagle design into KiCad and it has preserved the layer name, but it may have lost its original function in KiCad. KiCad has gone a similar route (please pardon the pun) to Protel. You can place a "Rule Area" on any layer, within which you can define what objects are prohibited or accepted in that area. This is much more flexible than a restricted or keep-out layer. Overlapping components are dealt with by a completely different means: by courtyards, which are layers associated with footprints, and which form inputs to the DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo - oops, I mean: Design Rule Checker). -- Regards, Tony On 08/02/2024 20:01, Dan Kemppainen wrote: toggle quoted message Show quoted text At least in Eagle, tRestrict or bRestrict keeps copper pours out of an area, and will also generate DRC errors for any copper routed through the area.
