Interesting,
a friend of mine working for another company reported the same problem today. The
polygon Plane parameters were setup correctly. We tried to play with the DRC rules. It
was the only polygon on the board. Nothing could be done. Any ideas?

I am using Protel 99SE and cannot figure out why when I drop
a polygon plane, which I choose to be GND it drops the
plane over all the pads and tracks in the area.
I have my netlist correct, I think I have set the polygon
plane right

Protel gets confused if you create a polygon which lies within
or overlaps another polygon (with a different net name) on
the same layer.
See Protel's Help topics. A Split Plane must be used in this
case.
Or you can lay your polygons
I'm just started getting a File Format not recognized error upon creating
new or attempting to read certain schematic files within P99SE/6.
I though that there might be some sort of problem with the file association
on .Sch, but that does not _appear_ to be the problem.
I checked Protel's KB
Thanks Brian,
I got my polygon fills in finally thanks to you.
Best Regards
Chris Rhomberg

Hi AJ
I've only ever seen this when the schematic template file is moved or
corrupt. Try removing any special templates or checking your created
ones (if applicable)
Hope that helps

I'm glad that Mr Rohmberg got his fills filled, but I don't think it was
from Mr. Sherer's advice, which is, unfortunately, incorrect, I just
verified it.
I stand correctedThanks. Can't understand how I've never run
into the problem!
