Internal ERF Name |
<Area>:plane_spacing |
Measurement Shape Measurement ID |
Segment Any two features |
Layers Displayed |
Power and ground (or mixed) layer |

Purpose |
When spacing between planes is compromised, shorts can occur between different voltage levels or between power and ground, resulting in non-functional boards. |
Function |
Reports features in a positive or negative layer closer than pp_pln_spacing belonging to different plane nets if the measurement segment touches copper only at its endpoints. If measurement segment touches copper at any point other than its endpoints, it is not reported. |
ERF Parameters |
pp_pln_spacing |
ERF Variables |
max_nfp_net_size |
Constraint |
Copper Spacing |
Limitations |
Drawn planes close to each other can produce a large number of measurements. Measurements are not filtered by their proximity to each other. |
