Polygons ignoring board outline clearnce
« on: March 08, 2021, 09:36:20 am »
Hello, I am using latest (21.2.0) version of AD21 on W10 machine.

Until yesterday everything worked fine, but today I found out after repouring my polygons that they started to ignore the BoardOutlineClearance. Interesting is, that they follow the rule around board cutouts (route tool), but not alongside the edge of the board. I am attaching the picture.

I have tried: Shelving polygons, repouring all, deleting/dupicating the rule, creating manual rule under Clearance (with custom query), restarting AD21 and restarting my PC.

Thank you very much!

I never got the point of that rule anyway, regular clearance does the same thing.

What version are you on? I was just doing some testing here and I'm also seeing polygons respect the clearance rule around cutouts but not around board outline on 21.2.0 Build 30.  Same thing on multiple boards, including ones I designed on March 3, which was right before 21.2.0 was released.  So this looks like a regression.

Per a user there, there is a workaround:

That works for me.

Wow, what a find. Thanks a lot, that fixed it. It's funny how they can manage to break stuff with every update, but the new features make me update every time :scared:
