Converting a Copper Shape to an Area
Use to convert a copper shape to a polygon that supports voiding around
unconnected nets.
Complete the following steps to shape a copper shape to an area:
1. Select a copper shape in your workspace. The figure below shows a
coppers shape (green) that straddles two pins and traces.
2. Select Design»Shape to Area. The copper is cut out to avoid the other
elements within its area, as in the example shown below.
Deleting All Copper
To delete all copper elements (traces, copper areas, and powerplanes) and
start over, choose Edit»Copper Delete»All Copper
. This deletes all
copper elements in the design.
