It is basically an exception error about a .dll with respect to pcb, but can't reproduce at this moment as another designer had the error. But it seems to be related to larger polygon plane over smaller ones. I thought of deleting the large and redoing it (and that works too), but I guess moving it with like you said a seed via for net might be simpler. Other CAD systems deal with this type of thing very well where you do not have to deal with moving one plane to edit another. I did try the move option on a copy of the design that did not seem to exhibit the error, and there does not seem to be any easy way to put the plane back ot its original position???? You cannot see it as you are moving it, so it may take a fiew tries or pick it up at a specified point and record coordinates??
