The grid needs to extend out to connect to the ring

tnt · Answer

you shouldn t need a power ring around your design only user project wrapper will have a ring

If I place my design as a macro in user project wrapper then how would it make the power connection < tnt>

tnt · Answer

The inside project should export the vertical straps as pads and then the wrapper then generating the horizontals straps will connect them them with vias

Wajeh ul hasan · Answer

Oh so how do you export the vertical straps as pads

tnt · Answer

It should do that automatically

tnt · Answer

But at the moment it only exports the two first straps AFAIK due to some PDNGen OpenDB limitation that < Ahmed Ghazy> is working on Not ideal but it should still connect

tnt · Answer

However you need to make sure you disable the horizontal straps `met5` on your inside project
