In designing a PCB, some circuits are sensitive to signals, and the signals are easily interfered. Usually, a prohibited region is set up. The prohibited region includes forbidden wiring, copper coating, and devices.
Steps:
- Top Menu Bar - Place - Prohibited region - Rectangle
After the cross cursor appears, you can draw a rectangular prohibited region in the PCB, or you can enter the size value to be drawn in the dynamic input box
After drawing, the property pop-up window will pop up, where you can set the property of the prohibited region.
prohibited option
- Component: When checked, the currently drawn prohibited region cannot place components in it.
- Fill region: When checked, the currently drawn prohibited region cannot draw filled regions inside, nor can it be drawn into the prohibited region from outside.
- Track: When checked, the currently drawn prohibited region cannot draw track inside
- Copper: After checking, the currently drawn prohibited region cannot draw the copper region in it, and the global copper-laying will cut the copper skin of the prohibited region.
- Plane Zone: After checking, the plane zone will be coutout the copper.
Rectangular outline
Layer: Set the layer of the prohibited region, which can be set on the top layer, bottom layer and multiple layers.
Lock: Whether to lock the prohibited region, it will be locked and cannot be moved.
Start point X: Displays the start point in the X direction of the prohibited region.
Start point Y: Displays the start point in the Y direction of the prohibited region.
Width: The width of the prohibited region rectangle.
height: The height of the prohibited region rectangle.
