Set Keepout for Pad

The first, I set KeepOut for pad with Top Layer,

But when I create PCB and make GND Plane, The GND plane do not clearance with Keepout area of Pad.

Thank you for your inquiry.

In regard to the issue that the clearance is not maintained

by the setting of "Keep Out Area" on the [Pad] dialogue,

as the specification of Quadcept, the object having a specific function

(a "Keep Out Area" object in this case) needs to be placed as an "object"

to let that function work, so the "Keep Out Area" set

at the [Layer] on the [Pad] dialogue does not work.

If you would like to set the "Keep Out Area" around a pad,

please draw it as an "object" using the "Keep Out Area"

selected from 【Create PCB】 → 【Keep Out Area】.

Regarding the placement of the "Keep Out Area" around a pad,

please set it by the way above.
