I' actually using Designer 6, but possible causes here could be; There may not be any valid connections on the bottom layer (or multilayer) that are part of the same net as the polygon and the 'remove dead copper' option is selected. So, the polygon removes all the 'dead copper' that doesn't connect to anything, in this case leaving just the outline of the polygon but no pour. 'Show / Hide' options have been set to 'draft' Check that the polygon options are allowing it to pour over same net objects (as I think that you have done)

It is set up to be connected to the ground net, and set to pour over same nets. Previously it has worked fine, but now when I place the polygon plane, it shows only a trace outlining the area I selected, and it does not fill in at all. If I select the plane, it highlights and looks correct (there are openings around unconnected pads, etc.) and I can drag it, but when it's unselected it reverts to just an outline. Clearly something changed, but I have not had any luck discovering what I did. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
