About copper plating rule setting [Copy link]

In AD9, have you ever tried to set the AGND copper spacing on the top layer to 25mil, the AGND copper spacing on the bottom layer to 10mil, and the DGND top and bottom layer copper spacing to 15mil?

Thanks.

Later, an unconventional method was adopted. Copper was applied first to the large spacing, then the regular spacing was changed to a smaller one, and then copper was applied to the small spacing.
