Ratsnest problem in V5

autodeskguest
autodeskguest over 17 years ago

I am having a bizarre problem.  When I ratsnest a board with copper polygon

pours on it, all of the polygons get processed and filled in, except those

with signal names GND and P5VA.   If I rename the polygon to some other name

it processes fine.   Previously, while working on the layout of the board, I

had hid the GND and P5VA signals using the RATSNEST ! GND P5VA command -

this worked great.  Later I cleared that by using the RATSNEST * and even

the RATSNEST GND  and RATSNEST P5VA commands.   These commands clearly make

the airwires appear for the signals named GND and P5VA, but the polygons

named GND or P5VA will still not process.   It does not matter which layer

the polygon is on.   I also deleted the polygons and redrew them and they

still will not process when I do a ratsnest.    I have no idea if the gerber

will be correct, but that really does not matter, the program has a problem

and I would really like to get my polygon pour processing back working.

Unless I am doing something stupid, this seems to be a bug related to hiding

of signals via the RATSNEST ! {signal name} command.

 

Regards

Darren

    Please try the following:

     

    RATSNEST *

     

    Check the setting:

    Options/Set/Misc  Ratsnest processes polygons.  Is it set?

     

    Do you have pads, vias, smds or wire bends inside the GND and

    P5VA polygons that belong to the polygon signal and are they

    reachable for the polygon (clearance, copper-dimension,

    resticted areas)?
