Yup. I explicitly select the TopLayer and BottomLayer in the dialog. I will sometimes switch a poly to a mech layer while routing, simply to speed things up, but that's not the case here.
Leo has the answer/workaround, but sheesh, what a kludge. Pity we can't go the other way, putting the vias in a class, but they're not actually components or pads, so that doesn't work. I can't figure out *why* vias connecting to polys wouldn't work. Either it's an oversight by Altium, or it's deliberate. -- Dean Carpenter deano at areyes com 94TT :) ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2005 6:26 AM Subject: Re: [PEDA] Weird - via won't join GND polygons > In a message dated 2005-03-09 08:54:03 PM Eastern Standard Time, > [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > > > > Checked the netlist.
