Configuring PCB Fill Keepout Object Properties in Altium NEXUS

Created: August 07, 2017 | Updated: März 14, 2018 | Applies to versions: 1.0 and 1.1

Nexus message

This documentation page references Altium NEXUS/NEXUS Client (part of the deployed NEXUS solution), which has been discontinued. All your PCB design, data management and collaboration needs can now be delivered by Altium Designer and a connected Altium 365 Workspace. Check out the FAQs page for more information.

 

Parent page: Fill Keepout

PCB Editor object properties are definable options that specify the visual style, content and behavior of the placed object. The property settings for each type of object are defined in two different ways:

  • Pre-placement settings – most Fill Keepout object properties, or those that can logically be pre-defined, are available as editable default settings on the PCB Editor - Defaults page of the Preferences dialog (access from the  button at the top-right of the workspace). Select the object in the Primitive List to reveal its options on the right.
  • Post-placement settings – all Fill Keepout object properties are available for editing in the Properties panel when a placed Fill Keepout is selected in the workspace.

The Fill Keepout default settings in the Preferences dialog and the Keepout - Fill mode of the Properties panel       The Fill Keepout default settings in the Preferences dialog and the Keepout - Fill mode of the Properties panel

In the below properties listing, options that are not available as default settings in the Preferences dialog are noted as "Properties panel only".

Location (Properties panel only)

The  icon to the right of this region must be displayed as  (unlocked) in order to access the below fields. Toggle the lock/unlock icon to change its lock status. 
  • (X/Y) 
    • X (first field) - the current X (horizontal) coordinate of the reference point of the fill keepout, relative to the current workspace origin. Edit to change the X position of the fill keepout. The value can be entered in either metric or imperial; include the units when entering a value whose units are not the current default. 
    • Y (second field) - The current Y (vertical) coordinate of the reference point of the fill keepout, relative to the current origin. Edit to change the Y position of the fill keepout. The value can be entered in either metric or imperial; include the units when entering a value whose units are not the current default. 
  • Rotation - the fill keepout's angle of rotation (in degrees), measured counterclockwise from zero (the 3 o'clock horizontal). Edit to change the rotation of the fill keepout. Minimum angular resolution is 0.001°.

Properties

  • Restricted for ​​Layer - use the drop-down to select the restricted layer.​​
  • Length - displays the current length of the fill keepout. Edit this field to change the length within the range 0.001mil to 10000mil.
  • Width - displays the current width of the fill keepout. Edit this field to change the width within the range 0.001mil to 10000mil.
Values can be defined in either mm or mil units. When entering a value in units other than the current units, add the mm or mil suffix to the value.

Keepout Restrictions

Use this region to select which object types will be restricted by the Keepout. Deselecting an object type will cause the Keepout to allow transgressions by that type of object (not kept out) by not imposing the applicable Clearance Rule. Choices include:

  • Via
  • Track
  • Copper
  • SMD Pad
  • TH Pad
