Hello,

 

I'm working on a board file since several time. I don't know what I did

but now copper pour (polygons) doesn't fill anymore. They shows only the

edge.

 

I closed and restarted Eagle but no way.

 

Do you have any idea what I did? I'm not a newbie about this topic but

this time I can't handle the situation...

 

Thanks

Clicking on the rats nest tool button should solve your problem

Nope!

It doens't fix the problem. It's not the first time I use polygons and I

know the behavior of ratsnest command.

Update:

the area is filled until I rename the polygon as 'gnd'. Since that it

will remain empty, even if I change again the name.

What could lead to this?

Option/Set/ "Misc" tab

and check "Ratsnest processes polygons"

The polygon name determines the signal it will be connected to.

GND is available inside the polygon contour, so the polygon is

filled. If you choose another signal name for the polygon and

there are no objects that belong to this signal inside the

polygon it can't be connected to anything and it won't be

calculated. Provided the option Orphans is set OFF, which is

default.

You're right. It was the Orphans option I forgot.
