Hi,

I wanted to know if there is a way to create design rules for polygon classes. I'm trying to create a clearance rule for multiple polygons, and do not want to add them one by one in the design rules window. So I decided to create a polygon class so I could assign the rule to that. But I could not find a condition type like "InPolygonClass". All answer are appreciated, thank you.

Instead of assigning rule to the polygon class i have created a net class and added the polygon nets to it. I created the clearance rule for the nets class. This worked but still wondering if the is a way to do this in a way mentioned in my first question. I have seen it for circuit studio but not in Altium 18. The link for circuit studio is below.

i dont have time to check right now, but keep in mind Altium has a few weird naming systems.
stuff like
InPolygon  vs IsPolygon,  that sort of thing.

Try searching for stuff like that, one of them should work for all polygons.

I have tried it again, by writing InPolygonClass in the window. Perhaps I had done a syntax error in the previous tries, or was confused because I couldn't find it in the query builder/helper. It works now, thanks you for your help :)
