Brad, Thanks I was finally able to get at the via by moving all, and yes that was the only way to get at it. However I have been able ot get at a footprints that were out of bounds by selecting outside and it worked. However no matter what I did with this via it would not move it or delete it.

Ian, Now that I have the via in outer space solved. I was going to just try redoing the plane first, and if that did not work yes I will try an ASCII out and poke around. Thanks Bob * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To

Robert, Regarding your problem with Polygon pours, another technique that may be useful is to save the file into ASCII format. I am not sure about this under P99SE but under V3 (or maybe P98) it was certainly true that ASCII file load (called parametric load by the software) did additional

Jami, OK Polygon Planes is set to 0 grid, .4mm (.016) track width and .2mm (.012) minimum size. 45 deg fill. With these settings I have never seen problems before though. Also one other note we just found out. Ther is what I believe a via out of editable area of board. I am not 100% sure it is

Thanks Guys, I would tend to agree about the extra work with multiple big pieces. It really seems to work well if you keep that mechanical layer outline of the big plane for ref. Because by the statement of (1) place the inner pours and fill them. (2) place the outer pour and fill it. This

Bob, I am assuming firstly that we are really talking about Planes made up of Polygon Fills, as opposed to real Planes with Split Planes within them. I have done this many times when I want to have a Plane fill in around things on a routing layer, and have even done it with several different

Bob, There's no problem with having polygon fills overlapping. The sequence would be to establish the inner fill first and then the larger fill will flow around the first. As for editing, temporally move the larger fill off the pwb to edit the smaller fills. Be sure to not rebuild the larger
