I'm using Ultiboard to lay out a board that uses a copper area for ground plane. The ground plane doesn't cover the whole board, so I've created a copper area in the desired outline, selected 'Shape to Area', and connected the copper area to the desired ground net. In my design, there are some nets that may have a high voltage (400V) to the ground net, while others are only 5V logic. I want to make sure that the ground plane void areas around pins connected to high voltage nets provide sufficient clearance. I've put the high voltage nets into a net group, but changing the net group's trace clearance doesn't seem to change the void clearances. How can I change the size of the void areas around pins? Is it possible to make it so that some nets have higher void clearances than others?

1. Right click on component and select In-Place Part Edit
2. Right click on pins and select Properties
3. Through Hole Pin Properties (SMT Pin...)>>General>>Clearances
