#156728 - Z-orders in Orcad...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Not sure if this is what you are looking for:



Orcad 15.7 (almost version 16) uses Zorder obsticle properties that allow you to set redraw priorities.

Z order specifies the location of the copper pour when it is nested or overlaps with another copper pour. The higher the Z order value, the higher control the copper pour has over other copper pours at the same location.

In this image, I have 3 obsticles; each are copper pours, and they overlap each other. The smallest pour uses Zorder = 3, the next uses Zorder=2, and the largest uses Zorder = 1.

Hatching is crosshatch for the smallest and largest, and solid for the middle region. The middle pour uses a net-attachment to the same net the right-most pin is attached to. That's why the trace is connected to it. The largest pour does the same thing with the left-most pin...

Hope this helps...

-Dave
