I am trying to use poly pour option in altium designer for gnd plane. In the design rules i have set rules for power plane connect style as relief connect. But it shows as a solid plane only. It is connect as a direct connect option.
The strange thing is that when i create a new pcb and pour a ploy on it. It connects as mentioned in reliefconnect rule. But it dosnt do it to the exsisting pcb which is completely routed.
Can any one pls help in fixing this problem.
Thanks in advance
tama.
No its actually a ploy pour only. I used the option for polygon pour inside place menu.
the thing is that there is a clearance rule for all ( in electrical design rules) as well and when i increase the clearance rule the polys get connected using thermal relief.
I dont get this when there is a rule for polygon connect style then how come the electrical clearance has to anything with it.
You probably set the clearance rule scope as "All" - "All". Polygons fall into the "All" category, so the rule is applied to the distance between the polygon and the pads/vias.
Note that the polygon connect style rules don't have a setting for the gap in the thermal - the electrical clearance rule establishes the gap.
