Reading docs about Unpour and repour copper zones with thermals, delete floating copper, and run DRC.

Reading docs about Steps to unpour and repour copper zones with thermals and clearance rules in Flux PCB.

Reading docs about How to manage copper zones: unpour hide repour and enable thermals in Flux PCB.

I couldn’t find relevant documentation on managing copper pours (unpouring and repouring zones) in Flux. It’s possible this workflow isn’t covered in the current docs. You can explore more here:

Accessing knowledge base.

Checking if I can make the changes for you.

Reading docs about How to evenly spread components on the PCB and group by connectivity so airwires are visible. Is there a placement-only Auto-Layout mode? Steps to run Auto-Layout, adjust spacing, and stop before routing. Also how to highlight airwires by net..

Reading docs about How to spread out components evenly on the PCB canvas in Flux. Steps to run placement or arrange components before routing. Any placement-only mode or controls for spacing/group by connectivity..

This is what the Flux documentation says about arranging and evenly spacing components:
“### How do I start the PCB layout after completing the schematic?
Click the PCB tab. Your schematic components become footprints on the board. Define the board outline and arrange components based on the ratsnest. For more information checkout this Getting started tutorial (https://docs.flux.ai/Introduction/getting-started-in-flux--pcb-layout-and-routing)
How do I use the grid snapping feature?
Flux does not use a grid system for alignment instead Flux offers a variety of tools to make sure components are perfectly and easily aligned, these include;
  • Snapping
  • Alignment guides
  • “Space Evenly” and “Align” tools” Source
Using Space Evenly
Ask about connectivity grouping
Request Auto-Layout options
