hi all,

I am new to easy pc tool and so please answer my doubts below

1. can v choose negative or positive plane for power planes?
2.how to select individually a routed trace which is underneath the pad?
3.can we set placebound top in this tool like allegro?
4.If we delete the ratsnets mistakenly, it is not visible though I select "show all net connections"?

My hearty thanks for your kind replies

Alternatively, create a new layer for these outlines (kinda like another silkscreen type layer)

Try Settings>Design Technology>Spacings where you can set gaps between various items.

Thanks for your reply

3."Placebound top" is a shape given around all the components to maintain a minimum clearance (25mil) in the component library.
can We give that using the Easy PC tool?

Thanks for your upcoming reply.

1) The powerplanes are not normally visible, but can be switched on by VIEW > Powerplane. However, it's best not to use powerplanes in EasyPC because of possibility of isolated islands of copper where there is a high density of vias. Use flood fill areas of copper instead,(ADD >Copper Pour Area) and manually add flood area to +Vcc or Gnd nets manually.

2) Select the pad then press N key (next) until the segment you want is highlighted.

3) ?

4) Try TOOLS > Forward Design Changes from schematic page to reload ratnest.
