copper pour clearance not parallel to component
Hi

I've got a strange phenomenon with the copper pour stucture.
The copper pour is not flowing parallel to some Footprints or Pads, it is absolutely inclined. It's quite difficult to describe this problem, so I saved 2 Pics here:

Does anybody know this Problem?
Thanks for your Help!

Andreas

Re: copper pour clearance not parallel to component
It could be an anti-copper feature, either attached to the footprint or in the design causing a pour void. Reviewing the part in the footprint editor or moving it may provide some clues.

Re: copper pour clearance not parallel to component
Thank you Ron O

I checked one Component:
- Moving didn't help, but to rotate. This feature happens only in a range of 90° (other 270° are O.K.)
- I made a new footprint of one of this Part. The problem was solved. But only for the concerning component.

I think I have to replace all components concerning.
