ERF Variable

Description

v_keep_nonstandard

Yes = the system keeps nonstandard clearance pads and enlarges them.
No = the system changes these clearance to standard pads and places them instead.

Note: Setting this ERF variable to Yes could increase the number of nonstandard symbols in the job, and increase job size.

Before optimization:

Both signal layer pad and soldermask clearance are construct pads.

After optimization:

 

When v_keep_nonstandard = Yes: soldermask clearance keeps its original shape and becomes construct + <enlargement value>.

When v_keep_nonstandard = No: soldermask clearance becomes a standard enlarge clearance.
