How to delete orphaned polygons

qzic
qzic over 3 years ago

I have a PCB which I auto-routed and the ripped-up all traces and the auto-routed again. Running DRC exposed overlaps. These overlaps were actually orphaned polygons. I had not created any polygons on my PCB, these are obviously pieces of traces that rip-up all missed.

Orphans on/off has not effect

attempts to delete or check properties of these orphans does nothing.

Solutions anyone?

    OK, so they just looked like polygons but actually just Eagle dandruff.  Closed the brd and re-opened, all gone. Thanks. Adding this to my cheat sheet.

    Yes, they are DRC Errors in the board layout. When we hit the DRC Errors button ( rectangular yellow colour symbol ) on control panel (left side ) in boards layout editor these all automatically generated for better clearances jobs for the users. We can clear the problems in our boards layout according to these DRC Errors. Or we can forcely clear all these errors in newly opened DRC Errors window. Above mentioned solutions is also help for this issue, thankyou.
