First, thanks very much for a great package. I learned CAD tools in the
late 80s/early 90s (Omation and Tango). Your tool is a considerable value.
I've completed my first board, but have a single issue that I haven't been
able to resolve from this forum or googling generally: what is the
procedure to produce a power plane?
I have successfully used the POLYGON for the GND net; it works as expected
and connects GND pads to the plane with a thermal. The GND plane is the
bottom of a 2-layer board.
The issue is that I haven't been able to do the same thing for my +5V net
(which I want for the top layer). Using the same procedure as for the GND
POLYGON, I get the following error when attempting to name the POLYGON:
Invalid wire width: '+5V'
(valid range 0..7874.01575 mil)
The wire width is set at 30 mils, which should easily be in range. (And,
this is the value that I used successfully for the GND POLYGON.)
What have I overlooked? I'm assuming that a POLYGON can be named to any
net, so I expect that that is not the problem, but I'm stymied on what the
issue is.
Thanks.
Dave
