Yves,
I don't normally use a lot of planes so I just tried what you describe
and I can confirm that it works as you indicated. "Select connected Copper"
will only select copper connected by a physical trace or polygon pour, not
those connected by a plane. The "Selected connected Copper" does definitely
work across polygon pours.
For the check that you are trying to do, you would have to use the
Select Net ("S","N")command and then manually confirm that all the via
connections did make a connection to the appropriate plane/split plane
manually. Checking the connection of those vias using the appropriately colored
X connection indicator for each plane or split plane area.
Are the Canucks the only ones awake on the PEDA list today? Bienvenue,

Subject: [PEDA] HIGH LIGHTING CONNECTIONS
Hi there,
I am making right now a 4 layer PCB. I have various split planes (-1V,+30V,
+6.2 ect).
Our verification process states that we verifythe board trace by trace the
layout even if we are using netlists.
I am using the"Select Connected Copper" function to highlight my
connections. I have let's say 10 components connected to a plane and you
highlight one track that is connected to that plane why is all the other
tracks that are connected to that plane are not highlighted as well. As far
as I know it is connected copper.
I must assume that it is the way Protel made it.
Thanks
