Plane Spacing (Plane Spacing)

 Purpose

When spacing between planes is compromised, shorts may be created between different voltage levels or between power and ground, resulting in non-functional boards.

Function

Positive layer: Reports features belonging to different plane nets that are closer than the action parameter pp_pln_spacing , on condition that the measurement segment touches copper only at its endpoints.

Negative layer: Reports line segments whose width is less than pp_pln_spacing .

Activation

 

Known Limitations

Drawn planes that are close to each other may produce a large number of measurements. Measurements are not filtered by their proximity to each other.

*         If measurement segment touches copper at any point other than its endpoints, it will not be reported.
