Different clearances in power and signal tracks

28 Dec 2011

Hello,

I need to use different clearances (distance between tracks and GND plane) in power tracks and signal tracks. Where is the dialog to configure these options?

In menu: Settings/Design technology, only is possible to configure one clearance for all the tracks....

thanks,

 

Valentin

The link was cut-off.  But here's the workaround:

I believe that you could increase the track width for the HV track style by the increased clearance that is required, auto-route, then reduce the track width back to what you really need.  When you change the track width in the Design Technology Tab all the tracks change, for that track style, on the PCB even after you have routed so the change is easy to do.

You can't set different spacing rules but a workaround was suggested previously:
