[PCB_FORUM] Re: Shape won't fill

Kevin,

A couple things to check is:

- Is there a layer specific route
keepout were this shape is drawn ?

- Is there two shapes with different
net names directly on top of each other ?

Hope this helps,
Michael Catrambone

Did. It is set to 200. By default it is set to 125.
Thanks, any other takers?
