Red region when routing

Anonymous — Mon, 25 Oct 2021 14:39:35 GMT

Hi,

When I was routing my PCB, this red region appeared (See attached picture). Is it because I'm too close to my obstacle? If this is the case, how can I have bigger tolerance?

Also, I'm struggling with routing my design since the trace goes around the circle and it seems my accuracy is not enough. Apart from using the minimum width, what more could I do?

Thanks in advance

Read the manual section on "Design rules check"

The obstacle is a board edge (for a large hole) and you're hitting the minimum clearance. You're using a very fine trace - presumably your design rules allow very fine minimum width - but you've still got a rather hefty board edge to copper clearance set. If your board house can do those very fine traces I expect they can cope with putting them closer to the edge.

Read up also on grid settings and the "obstacle avoidance" route options. I'm not sure how good the manual is on that last one as it's a relatively recent feature.
