Feature Request: Option for zones to have clearance from the outline

Community Feature Request Chat

When creating a zone such as ground a plane, it would be nice to be able to check a tick box so that the zone doesn’t go all the way to the edge of the pcb. Having an easy way to provide some clearance on the edge of the pcb would be a lot easier than having to shrink the zone down manually to be slightly smaller than the pcb, especially with pcb’s that have complicated shapes.

Thanks

It already does that.

If you need to have different clearance for zones than for tracks, you can use Custom rules.
