eagle and bRestrict

[justDIY]

what is the 'recommended' method for keeping a ground plane / supply plane (drawn with the polygon command) out of certain areas, like the little 'nubs' it likes to creep in toward IC pins and such...

I've been using bRestrict and the rectangle command, however, when I run a DRC, it complains about traces or pads being in the restricted area ... I don't want to exclude pads or traces, just the plane

In the design rules, change the pad clearance to a larger number.

thanks for the response.

that solved one problem, but created another

now it complains when I have a trace running between pins.

is there any way to have my cake, and eat it too?

I get a lot of complaints also but if I know why it is complaining, I ignore it.

If you adjust the width of the drawing/ filling wire in the polygon mode together with the clearance distance, you can tweak the combination to a proper result. This is dependant of the resolution you want and need for your layout.
