Subject: [geda-user] clearances for auto-routed traces with copper pours

I have been using PCB 20140316 for layout and I notice that if I auto route
tracks then create a copper pour around these tracks they will always
connect to the pour.  Even if Settings ->  New lines, arcs clear polygon is
checked.

But if I manually route these tracks then create a copper pour, I
automatically will get clearance (no connection to the plane) if Settings
->  New lines, arcs clear polygon is checked.  Or if Settings ->  New
lines, arcs clear polygon is not checked, I get no clearance or I get
connections to the plane.  This behavior meets my expectation for correct
operation.

But, I can not seem to control clearance for auto-routed tracks with copper
pours.  I am new to using the autorouter - I have been assuming that the
auto-router enforces the same DRC clearance settings, as with manual
routing.  Or is there some other settings I need to use?

Dave
