In the following screen capture, I am attempting a layout that involves copper filed polygons and parts with pads making contact with those filled areas.
As you can see the parts are not actually in contact with the filled area.
The editor gui says the clearances are set to 0, but apparently 0 does not mean 0, and instead it means use a default value.
So, how do I do this?
Thank you
p/s The following is what I am attempting to implement, it is from the datasheet for the LT1931.
Do you have assigned the correct net-name to your zone?
Additionally the net which you want to connect to the zone needs a netname in the schematic (local label, global label or power-symbol).
Additionally later check the pad connection type in the zone settings.
detailed explanation in the documentation, section “working with zones”: pcb
@mf_ibfeew Yes, I figured it out. I have to name each of the zones for the net they connect, and I also have to edit every pad, and set the thermal connection to solid.
Tedious.
Thank you
and I also have to edit every pad, and set the thermal connection to solid.
Normally it should be enough to set the connection-parameter in the zone-properties dialog to “solid”.
The standard pads have the connection set to “inherit from parent/zone” so they should get the solid-setting from the zone.
Aha… Always read the fine print - “zone”. Thank you
