Hmmm another feature ;o) OK all here is how i did it, and it worked for me YMMV I selected all copper connected on the top layer, switched to botom and did the same, then placed vias on each dead section, rebuilt top and botom planes seperately, and kept repeating till I was happy I had the best coverage posible :o) Thanks all once again :o) I am off to bed it is 2:04am lol Regards, Kat. ********************************************** K.A.Q.
