Broken Ground Plane

e14 Contributor
e14 Contributor over 13 years ago

(EAGLE 5.10) I have a 4-layer board I've been working on for months that

last night, as I was finishing the layout, the ground plane polygon on

layer 2 quit pouring properly & instead seemed to connect every pin & via

on the layer w/the only reliefs appearing around drilled holes (not pads)

exclusively. I do see thermals & isolation rings in the layer but the pour

is solid & covers everything. (confirmed via gerber file) Grid is 0.1",

width is .008", pour is solid, spacing is .05", isolate is 0, rank is 1 &

thermals is checked. I'm using the exact same settings on the power planes

(layer 3) which are still pouring just fine. What next? The brd file at

110K is too big to post here but I'll send it to anyone who wants to see

it. Thanks in advance

    ZIP the file and it will be small enough to post
