How to control the same net copper to via spacing while creating thermals in "No plane type" layer?
How to control the same net copper to via spacing while creating thermals in "No plane type" layer?
Hello,
It looks like a Via that you want 40mil clearance belong to a different net. In Default Clearance rule keep clearance for Copper to Via as 10mil. Then select only the Net that other Via belong to and change clearance for that Net only for Copper to Via to be 40mil.
If all the items in your picture are indeed all belong to the same Net, follow Mr. Ershov suggestion from the earlier reply and use Plane Layer and custom thermal pad definition.

Oh good, another plus for planes. I like learning something new. So far the only advantages I see for planes over pours are:
- You can remove unused pads on inner plane layers if you need to increase your copper on a plane.
- You can define antipads in your thermals instead of having to use the global clearance rules.
I do not see if it would be possible without using Plane Layer and custom thermal pad definition.
