Hi Again, As you can tell I am just getting into 99SE. Believe it or not PCB 2.8 had done all I needed for quite a while. I now have a board with some components at 45 degrees and 2.8 falls apart there. Anyway, I am probably doing this wrong but it has worked for all this time in 2.8. I defined a heat-sink with some fills and no pads. When I would pre-route in 2.8 it would change these fills to what ever might be connected to them, like the tab on a D2PAK. I tried to turn off all the auto-routing in 99SE to get a pre-route but it does not work. It goes through the locked traces and then says it cannot initialize which really does not tell me anything. I am not even sure if 99SE will act the same way as 2.8 did. I may have to re-do the way I define my heat-sink. This is a surface mount heat-sink that has a contact area like a "U" (Aavid 7109D). The only way I can figure to do this is will 3 fills. As you can tell I am way behind the curve here and would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks,
