			If copper surfaces are arranged asymmetrically, thermal effects (twists and bows) can occur during the production process. It is recommended to generate ground planes as a grid (exception: high-frequency designs).<br><br>

Find it in TARGET 3001! by the icons [[Image:MagicWand.jpg]] and [[Image:AutoGroundPlanes.jpg]] or in '''[[Menu Actions|Layoutmenu Actions]] / Generate Ground Plane'''. 

This can be done by the second section of the "Groundplane Assistant" dialog: 

[[Image:groundplane20a.jpg|none]] 

Using this function should be the '''very last''' step during the layout process because deleting the GND-signal from Layer 2=copper bottom, will delete the grid '''as well''' as the routed GND-signal. Also the '''"Check Project"''' Function will not work because TARGET 3001! needs to check all points of the grid against the minimum spacing set. This will take a huge calculating effort and thus take too much time. 

After using this function the Layout as above may look like this: 

[[Image:groundplane21.jpg|none]]

== Deleting a gridded groundplane ==

For deletion of the gridded groundplane please use section 3 of the groundplane assistant: "Retrieve ground plane" which will create the solid status again.
