keep out area layer select issue

[ocb-hd-ccb]

Alright, I have never used the keepout tool before. I selected both layers in the properties and also checked the keepout copper pours. When I went to edit the properties again the B.Cu wasn't selected. So, I selected it and hit OK. Then I went back to check and it still wasn't 'ON'.

I than ran DRC and got this error: See attached image

I can't reproduce this. Can you provide more detailed instructions/an example PCB file?

alright, start pcb new and make a keepout zone with both F.Cu and B.Cu checked I also checked 'keep out tracks', 'keep out vias', and 'keep out copper pours'. I did not check the 'constrain...' option. Hit okay.

Then 'e' on the newly made keepout and notice B.Cu isn't on. Click B.Cu again and hit okay. 'e' and still not ON.

Then 'd' and place it then 'e' turn off F.Cu and turn on B.Cu. So... This should be 2 separate keepouts one on F.Cu and one on B.Cu.

Now run DRC and notice error.

Your nightly build is quite old, please update to see if the issue has already been fixed.

I still can't recreate it from scratch, and I can edit the keepout area to include both layers.

There is something strange with the file provided (doesn't match the one created from my testing following the instructions). It contains two keepout zones in the same location, with different layers. Has the file been edited outside of KiCad (ie a text editor) or something else (e.g. keepout copy/pasted from another file?)

[ocb-hd-ccb (ocb-hd-ccb)]

I update my nightly about once per week and I might be slightly behind that because there hasn't been a 10_14 build for the last few days.

The file has not been edited outside of kicad. That was a brand new project created with nothing in the schematic or pcb file before doing the keepouts.

I will test again as soon as I update nightlies.

It works now. Version: (5.99.0-425-gce1b50e0f), debug build fixed the issue. The visual representation isn't very good but it does work on B.Cu and F.Cu.

The above attached picture is a fill front and back on top and a keepout front and back on the bottom.

Should I open a new issue to suggest the keepout be represented more similarly to the fills when on both layers?

[Michael Kavanagh (michaelkavanagh)]

It was my understanding zone fills can't be assigned to multiple layers (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/954848).

Feel free to open a new bug if you have suggestions on how it can be improved. Please first search the bug tracker for similar issues (e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1667886).
