A few questions about Pours

Rollmop — Wed, 20 May 2020 10:07:02 GMT

I am fairly new to Electronics on Fusion and have a few questions about pours and creating ground planes.

How can you get rid of orphan areas?

How do you change the width of the thermal reliefs?

Hi @Rollmop,

I hope you're doing well. I'll answer your questions in order:

1. Removing orphans usually requires rerouting sections of the design to avoid creating the orphan in the first place. Another option is to connect the orphan to the main polygon, Fusion Electronics will automatically create an airwire to connect an orphan to the main poly.

2. Easiest way is to change the width of the polygon itself.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,

I am sure I have seen these as options some where, but cannot find them.

Hi @Rollmop,

I hope you're doing well. Click on one of the edges of the polygon and then look in the inspector on the right side of the screen. Another option would be click on the INFO command and then click one of the edges of the Polygon.

Let me know if you continue to run into problems.

Best Regards,
