ECAD Keepout with multiple loops

[red devil]

I have a PCB profile to which I have added a place keepout. The keepout consists of 2 closed loops, one inside the other which is offset by 1.5mm (this is to show where a plastic wall is located). I export the board data to IDF, then when importing into Allegro the keepouts are two separate large areas and not the thin wall required. I have looked at the EMN file in Wordpad and the keepouts are separated there, so it looks like the problem lies with the ProE export. So, my question is; can you have a keepout that contains multiple loops?


TIA

Your problem isn't that you have multiple loops which ECAD can do.

You have NESTED loops which results in one area on top of another

To get around this turn the O section into a C section with very little space between the ends of the C
