Hi Mike,
There are a few items to consider:
THE CONS
1. (Positive Planes) Going with positive planes will increase the size of
your database.
2. (Negative Planes) You will need to create flash symbols in order to
create Gerber's as 274X as negative planes.
That's it, that's all!

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Planes- pos/neg- dynamic/static
Looking for opinions on this and to see how others are doing
these.
Our CAD group has gotten into discussions as to whether or not
we should be
doing solid power/ground planes as positives. As a long time
Allegro user I've
been accustomed to doing solid planes as negatives and static,
though lately
Ive been making these planes negative/dynamic to take advantage
of voiding of
route keepouts on certain layers.
So could I find out if anyone is going with databases that are
all positives as far
as layers are concerned? And any comments Pro or Con as to
using this method.
thanks,
