Making an "ring" type of copper area in Ultiboard

Solved!
Go to solution
I am trying to design a circular PCB with a 3 node "target" pattern of copper (a center dot with two copper rings of progressively larger diameters with space between nodes). Can this be done with a combination of keepout areas and circular mass areas?

You can use the fill style of a circular copper area to create your ring shape.

1) Create a circular copper area.

2) Enter its properties (double click or right click -> properties) and change the fill style to empty in the Copper Area tab.

3) Use the Width in the general tab to determine your ring width.
