Rotation is in accordance with the value for the Rotation Step defined on the PCB Editor – General page of the Preferences dialog.
Press the Spacebar to rotate the polygon pour counterclockwise or Shift+Spacebar for clockwise rotation. Click the pause button overlay ( ) to resume placement. Press the Tab key to pause the placement and access the Polygon Pour mode of the Properties panel from where its properties can be changed on the fly. Continue placing further polygon pours or right-click or press Esc to exit placement mode.Īdditional actions that can be performed during placement are:. Position the cursor then click or press Enter to place. Right-click in the design space then choose the Place » Polygon Pour command from the context menu.Īfter launching the command, the cursor will change to a cross-hair and you will enter polygon pour placement mode. Once a command has been used, it will become the topmost item on that section of the Active Bar). (Click and hold an Active Bar button to access other related commands. Click the Polygon Pour button ( ) in the drop-down on the Active Bar located at the top of the design space. Choose Place » Polygon Pour from the main menus. To place a polygon, switch to the required layer then perform one of the following: You can place them directly or create them from selected primitives. Polygon Pours can only be placed in the PCB Editor. Hatched polygon pours are commonly used for ground purposes in analog designs. On a signal layer, you can place a solid polygon pour to define an area for carrying large power supply currents, or as a ground-connected area for providing electromagnetic shielding. Also referred to as copper pours, polygon pours are similar to a region except that they can fill irregularly shaped areas of a board as they automatically pour around existing objects, connecting only to objects on the same net as the polygon pour. 
Polygon pours are used to create a solid or hatched (lattice) area on a PCB layer, using either Region objects or a combination of Track and Arc objects.
