How to use Polygon fill

Former Member

I have a small board, fairly dense, double sided approx 22 x 46 mm with 135

wires and all SMD except for battery pads and signal i/o pads.  EAGLE 5.11

will not allow a ground copper pour.

I can route the board 100% but when I try to do a polygon gnd with orphans

on or off it fails to pour and I get messages like Optimise6:80.3%

finished.  Polygons may have fallen apart.

 

I have tried polygons before and after routing always with the same

results.

 

Has anyone got a foolproof check list of what settings to use and the order

to do it in?

 

thanks in advance

Brian

    Attach your 100% routed board file that fails to take the polygon fill.

    Someone should be able to spot what is tripping it up
