Hello <@U016EM8L91B> How can we block metal5 fill?...

Hello @Tim Edwards How can we block metal5 fill? I don't see a layer for that, as there is for metal4. Hopefully a way to block the fill around complex metal shapes without drawing equally complex blocking polygons.
t
The
fillblock
layer blocks fill on all metal layers (including metal4).
fillblock4
is not for metal4---it blocks fill on everything except metal5. I didn't create layers for blockage on every layer individually because I didn't see a pressing need for it.
a
We want to block fill around inductors in metal 5. We also have logos in metal 5
There is no way to do it in magic then?
t
As I said, use
fillblock
(which is what I do around logos and other sensitive circuits).
a
I am not sure I understand. It seems to me that
fillblock
and
fillblock4
are two names for the same layer in Magic
Our last tapeout finished and it looks like
fillblock4
blocks all metal fills, including metal5
t
It wasn't supposed to. I'll have to take a look at it.
