I believe they added a feature to the new software that allows layer specific keep outs that do not plot in gerber... I have not verified it, but I think it's a check box in the properties dialog box.
Just a thought. Bill Brooks - KG6VVP PCB Design Engineer , C.I.D.+, C.I.I.

But I don't want the polygon to fill in under the DDPAK component. If I put a ring around the component on the "keep out" layer, it will mess up the polygon I have on the bottom layer. I tried putting a "No Net" ring around the component which looks stupid. A top layer "keep out" does the same thing and also looks stupid. As I see it, I have three options: 1) Redesign the DDPAK component so that there is an area of copper under the entire body. 2) Put the ring around the DDAK component, but then erase the ring after the polygon is purred. 3) Something very clever I'm not smart enough to invent.
