Not necessarily. Since all the menus are configurable, someone possibly
could have removed it from your setup. It also could have been wiped out
on its own. I've seen this with a custom menu item I've added. At some
point it just 'went away' and I had to add it again. (I remember it was

Any chance that on (Arrow) | Preferences, somehow "Save Preferences" was not

at least you would let us know about it and save us some frustration.

Is that:
Tools

It's been there all along, mind you I don't remember seeing

Dennis,
This program sometimes is amazing, some of us like you have been using it
for years. It doesn't surprise me that you would find another hidden
feature. Today I think I found a hidden bug but what is the use of
reporting it if the program is obsolete ?

Its nothing that any DRC or ERC can ever pick up.
Its a manufacturing problem which should be avoided.
For starters your PCB house should be made aware
before hand that the plane clearences are less than
20mil.
The reason for this is due to the PCB house drilling
an oversized hole and then plating

I have no split planes passing thru the hole. I do have traces drawn in the
planes that channel currents.
