* w& p% r8 S, p! ~* wWhat's the easiest way to place a connecting trace on an intermal power plane? Ever try to do it? In the old days before laser plotters, you would create three different layers. One was the original plane information. Another opened up a channel or space where the trace from the third
7 i3 T4 O b- k% player was placed. Then you would leave the film in the plotter and plot each layer on top of the previous. Or, how do you shield a trace on an outside layer that begins as a solid copper area?
