Yeah, I guess I was assuming the net connected to her power polygon has a 'majority' of it connected.
If she does what I indicated, it will be obvious what parts of her polygon pour (which is a outer layer ground plane) are not actually connected. It will also be obvious if two or more large sections are not connected to each other (but a DRC should point that out quickly too) Tony -----Original Message----- From: Brad Velander [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 09, 2002 10:29 AM To: 'Protel EDA Forum' Subject: Re: [PEDA] Highlighting dead copper on P99SE Tony, that will only select copper connected to the single net that you click on. You would have to individually click every net on the board to highlight all copper other than the "dead copper". I did a quick test trying to globally select all copper that was "no net", it failed miserably. It was actually selecting copper that was assigned to other nets. Don't know why but I didn't reply to Kat because my test had failed trying to globally select "no net" copper. I had two pieces of copper that were intentionally set to "no net", my global selection selected 5 pieces of copper, three were on another net. I think it is one of those Protel "features".

It will be obvious what IS NOT connected and you can populate that with stitching vias or pads.
