Hi, I have a SMA connector’s pad that goes into a track with a teardrop. The pad has its clearance set in a custom rule, and the keepout basically envelops the teardrop. What I want is for the teardrop to take priority in clearance.
How do I do this? A teardrop is not an object that can be addressed with a custom rule.
A crude drawing of what I want to achieve
Teardrops are meant to be a bulk feature to improve manufacturability, and to improve reliability by eliminating sharp width changes on narrow tracks. For more specific features on singular tracks / pads / locations, it is probably a lot simpler to just draw a zone manually. This gives you all the control to create a custom shape you want, and it stays there when you modify teardrop parameters for the “bulk” of other connections.
Thank you, and how do I address a zone?
I’d need a rule “if A is a zone of certain netclass then clearance is exactly X mil”, and place it above the pas rule.
