I need to attach a copper shape to the epad of a DFN for heat sinking purposes. Adding a static solid etch shape to the pad causes all kinds of DRC errors.
I'm new to 16.6 and it looks like I have several ways to do this:
- Ignore the DRC's.
- Make a region around the DFN and set up constraints that'll work.
- ???
I'm cleaning up a design that had this connected to ground, but it should be electrically isolated.
What's the best way to handle this?

Thanks.
