board outline / power plane clearance

[pgo48]

How do I set the clearance between power planes and the board outline to 0? 

I have tried setting options > pcb properties > copper layers > board outline clearance to 0 and changing the "clearance to copper areas" in the design rules to 0, but STILL there is a small space between the two. How do I correct this?

thankyou

Hi PGO,

There are two places you need to change:

1.  options > pcb properties > copper layers > board outline clearance

2.  Double click on the copper area then select the "General" tab, change the "Clearances" spin box to 0.

You should talk to your manufacturer, many of them do not recommende doing this

hi, thanks for your reply. Which box do you mean by "spin box"? there are four different boxes here, to trace, to pad, to via, to area. I cannot seem to eliminate the space by changing any of them (and I have also changed the board outline clearance to 0)
