Yeah because it’s so easy to verify creepage and clearance requirements with a bunch of squiggly lines all over the board… Add to that thermal properties and temp rise calculations. There’s a heck of a lot more to PCB design than just an “electrical reason”.
- IshKebab 4y agoAre you being sarcastic? I can't imagine why squiggly lines would make it harder for a computer to check clearance. They can definitely already handle it. They even showed examples in this post! Similarly I don't see why thermal calculations would require a particular geometry. That would be a very strange way to do things.
