Polygon troubles

autodeskguest
autodeskguest over 15 years ago

My design has two polygons, so far, both named GND.  Ratsnest filled in

the first one but adding another resulted in an error from Ratsnest:

"Signal GND contains an invalid polygon."

 

The two polygons do not touch each other.

 

I am stumped by this.  Any idea what I am missing?

    Frequently this means that the polygon crosses itself or has a zero length

    section.

     

    It should not be too hard to find if you select different areas and check

    them out.
