 Topic: Exporting Keep-out Layers To Altium DesignerPosted: 20 Mar 2018 at 7:07am |
|
How do I write the Preferences for the "Placement Keepout" layer in the Top/Bottom text boxes when exporting a footprint to Altium Designer (18) in order to get the Keepout information in the AD layer for this (named "Keep-Out Layer" in AD)? I have tried to write how I think it would be, but it will always be assigned to the electrical top or bottom layer...

'eKeepOutLayer' should work.
Here is a list of known layer names that should be mappable. eBackGroundLayer eMultiLayer eTopOverlay eBottomOverlay eConnectLayer eNoLayer eTopLayer eMidLayer1 eMidLayer2 eMidLayer3 eMidLayer4 eMidLayer5 eMidLayer6 eMidLayer7 eMidLayer8 eMidLayer9 eMidLayer10 eMidLayer11 eMidLayer12 eMidLayer13 eMidLayer14 eMidLayer15 eMidLayer16 eMidLayer17 eMidLayer18 eMidLayer19 eMidLayer20 eMidLayer21 eMidLayer22 eMidLayer23 eMidLayer24 eMidLayer25 eMidLayer26 eMidLayer27 eMidLayer28 eMidLayer29 eMidLayer30 eBottomLayer eTopPaste eBottomPaste eTopSolder eBottomSolder eInternalPlane1 eInternalPlane2 eInternalPlane3 eInternalPlane4 eInternalPlane5 eInternalPlane6 eInternalPlane7 eInternalPlane8 eInternalPlane9 eInternalPlane10 eInternalPlane11 eInternalPlane12 eInternalPlane13 eInternalPlane14 eInternalPlane15 eInternalPlane16 eDrillGuide eKeepOutLayer eMechanical1 eMechanical2 eMechanical3 eMechanical4 eMechanical5 eMechanical6 eMechanical7 eMechanical8 eMechanical9 eMechanical10 eMechanical11 eMechanical12 eMechanical13 eMechanical14 eMechanical15 eMechanical16 eMechanical17 eMechanical18 eMechanical19 eMechanical20 eMechanical21 eMechanical22 eMechanical23 eMechanical24 eMechanical25 eMechanical26 eMechanical27 eMechanical28 eMechanical29 eMechanical30 eMechanical31 eMechanical32 eMechanical33 eMechanical34 eMechanical35 eMechanical36 eMechanical37 eMechanical38 eMechanical39 eMechanical40 eMechanical41 eMechanical42 eMechanical43 eMechanical44 eMechanical45 eMechanical46 eMechanical47 eMechanical48 eMechanical49 eMechanical50 eDrillDrawing eGridColor1 |

Thank you for the list, just what I needed!
But shouldn't there be a command for Keepout top and bottom explicit? "eKeepOutLayer" seems to just work together with "Keepout All".

Try 'eTopLayer' and 'eBottomLayer' for the two respective options. That should then map say a placement keepout on the top to the top layer. It gets built as a keepout, and should be on the Top Layer.
