Editing Split Ground Plane

I added a ground plane to my pcd and used the splitter to segment it into two sections. Now I would like to go back in and slightly modify the two segment locations.  I don't want to add more segments, just move the boundaries between the existing two segments. Is there anyway to do this?

 

Thanks

Rick

Hi Rick,

 

Splitting a power plane converts it into two or more copper polygons, depending on how it was split. The only way to modify the boundary is to select the copper polygon and then drag the points (blue handles) to the new location.

I set the active layer to be the one I assigned as a ground plane, but I don't seem to be able to select either of the two polygon segments that were created when I used the splitter.

Did you set the select filter for copper areas?

You got to it before I did!
