Greetings,

I was just reading through the latest draft of IPC-2222,
and stumbled into the advice in section 10 regarding
"large conductive areas", where we are advised to
use some kind of etched pattern (cross-hatching)
for any area larger than a 25mm diameter circle.

I have done this exactly once in the last 22 years,
does anyone else do this?

Has anyone ever experienced a problem by NOT doing
this? (not counting soldermask over HASL)

Jack
