Jason,
I did not follow this one from the very beginning but,
I would also 100% agree that bringing a gerber file back into your
CAD system for any reason other than to use it to reproduce
a board you have no CAD data for, or copy sections into an
existing board etc. is not good. I would NOT

No source or seed for the polygon to attach to. The polygon is isolated
from its net. Try placing a via in the region of the polygon and then
double click the polygon and press return in order to get the polygon to
rebuild. I have been dealing with this over the past few days.

Is it just pouring outlines? - do you have No hatching selected?
Do you have minimum primitive size set to something outrageous?
Just some real quick thought.

If you check in your Protel backup directory on your harddisk, you will
likely find a backup of the library where your BGA footprint existed. Rename
the backup file to a .LIB name and open in Protel to see if your old
