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.
