Hey Bob, Assuming that the mounting hole pads (metal) don't go all the way to or beyond the board outline (I like to stay away 10 mils minimum, prefer 25 mils), I would either "waive" the DRC, edit the mounting hole Place_Bound_Top/Bottom shapes, or edit the Route Keepin shape near the mounting holes. Otherwise, what Jean said 8-) Regards, Gary MacIndoe Senior PCB Design Engineer EbD R&D Hardware Surgical Solutions Group Covidien Boulder, Colorado From: icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bob McCreight Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 8:32 PM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Pad Clipping? Hello Allegro Gurus, As is the norm, I am racing the midnight hour :-) <West Coast> I have a few mounting holes whos' pads extend into (make that outside) the Route KeepIn shape. What is the best method for clipping the copper on these features? Thanks in advance for your excellent suggestions! Bob
