Filtering Filled Areas

In preparation for import to SOLIDWORKS, you can filter out filled areas. You can filter out all filled areas, or you can filter filled areas from selected conductive layers.

To filter out filled areas:

  1. From the Tools tab, click Filled Areas in the Filter area of the Tools toolbar.
  2. In the Filled Area Filters pane, select one of the following:
    Option Description
    Filter out all filled areas Filters out all filled areas from the CircuitWorks tree.
    Filter out all on conductive layers Filters out filled areas on the selected conductive layers. Select the conductive layers to remove filled areas from.
    The filled areas are unavailable in the CircuitWorks tree, and do not appear in the preview.
To filter out an individual filled area, in the CircuitWorks tree, right-click the filled area and click Filter Out.
