!HELP! Altuim Designer PCB Layout

[YaSaRa_N]

Hi!
I am designing a Micro-mouse robot as a hobby project. I did the schematic using the EasyEDA online editor. that is because i can directly chose parts from LCSC.
(I use LCSC because of the lowest shipping rates). however, after creating the schismatic using EasyEDA, I convert it to a PCB and then exported it as a Altium PCB ducument(.pcbdoc) to do the routing.

Once I opened  the file from Altium it works fine except for that there is a white box around each component. (as shown in the attached image. it only appears once i selected the component)

it seems to be a clearance thing. as in the image 1 , I cannot move R48 or R50 closer to the SW5. when the components are in either horizontaly or verticly, this white box is basically the package outline and its ok.

but when i rotate a component, it becomes bigger.  How can i get rid of this ? i am using AD19.

Thank uou.

Keep "clearance" in rules, but disable "component clearance".

I disabled the component clearance rule but no luck.

At the very beginning of the  layout  i was able to place the components such that the white box overlaps. but now i cannot.


So it must be a setting that i changed ?

See the small white triangle on the left of component clearance rule? That's expandable. Expand it, and there might be a second rule.

I tried that. no luck.

however I installed AD18 and it seems to be working fine. I think it might be a bug in AD19. anyway problem solved. Thanks for the replies.

now i can place components anywhere i want. even on top of another

If you want clearance rules to work correctly in Altium, you need to have 3D models embedded in the footprints. Otherwise it does what you've noticed: draw stupid rectangles around the footprint and claims everything is colliding. This often isn't a problem if all components are horizontal or vertical, but it's absolutely useless at any other rotation angle.
