    Depending on what you are trying to do, I might have a workaround for you.

     

    Normally, orphans are only removed if there is at least one real connection

    to a poly.  If the poly does not connect to any of the contained nets, it

    will fill around in as much of the area as possible.

     

    Suppose you want to stop ground fill under a BGA or some other object with

    regular connections.  In this case, you can set the ISOLATE parameter to the

    pad spacing, and now the poly will be empty.  Be sure to inspect the edges

    for "same signal" clearance violations that DRC won't catch.

     

    Be sure to set the rank on the inner poly lower than the containing poly,

    use a different signal name, and adjust the isolate parameter to prevent

    ground fill without generating DRC errors.

     

    Hope that helps...

    On the bottom layer, you can simply draw the outlines of your exclusion

    area in the bRestrict layer.

    A polygon (orphan) should basically also work, but at a short test it

    didn't work here, too - maybe there's a (new?) bug in polygon calculation?
