Around the middle of the line it will have "NAME=Clearance_pogo". Sometimes it doesn't.ĥ-Open the RUL file with a text editor such as Notepad++.Ħ-Look for your Clearance rule that you just created. Name it Clearance_pogo or something like that.ģ-Give it a higher priority than the original Clearance rule.Ĥ-Export the Clearance RUL file. The following are the steps that you need to take:ġ-Go into your PCB Rules and Constraints Editor (Right-click and select Design -> Rules)Ģ-In the Clearance section of the rules, duplicate the Clearance rule. The fix for your clearance problem will require some text editing but I guarantee it will work. I understand the Rules are executed based on Priorities, but I did not see where this was giving me the issue.Īny help to understand better is appreciated - Thanks I would have thought the original Power Plane Clearance would have worked - do I have to somehow label my plane as a "Power" plane or similar? Is CS not recognizing it as a Power plane? Might there be a way to create a rule for clearance around certain components? I am relatively new to CS, so I must be missing something here. I then decided to make a 2nd Clearance Rule, but the "Where The First Object Matches" rule dialog does not include an option to select Pad Class like the Power Plane Clearance does. Unfortunately this did not work as my default Clearance rule of 0.2mm was maintained after repour. Since all 5 pads are the same size and unique to all other pads in my design, I created a Pad Class to include these pads and increased the Clearance. So I turned focus to creating a 2nd Power Plane Clearance Rule. I originally looked at adding a keepout to this layer, but this will not work as a keepout over the pads obviously creates DR violations. I added a Polygon Pour Plane (Gnd) to the same layer and would like to increase the pad to poly clearance around the pads to more than my default clearance of 0.2mm to prevent the pogo's from shorting to the plane with an unsteady hand - without having to increase the overall 0.2mm clearance for all the other components on the layer. I have a line of pads I use for In Circuit Serial Programming for micro's that are spaced 2.54mm apart for use with a pogo pins/test probes fixture.
