Shelve All Polygon Pours
Applied Parameters: Shelve=True
Summary
This command is used to shelve all currently displayed polygon pours in the active PCB document. The act of shelving temporarily hides the polygon pours from the editor but retains them in the PCB database (i.e. they are not destroyed and can be restored at any time). This allows changes to the board layout to be made both with visual ease, and without the impact on performance - both editing and DRC - that visual polygon pours can bring.
Access
This command is accessed from the PCB Editor by choosing the Tools » Polygon Pours » Shelve n Polygon(s) command from the main menus (where n is the number of unshelved polygon pours that have been detected in the design).
Use
After launching the command, all detected polygon pours (that are currently not shelved) are shelved - hidden from the workspace.
Tips
- Polygon pours can also be shelved and restored (unshelved) through use of the Polygon Pour Manager dialog.
