Signal 'GND' contains an invalid polygon

ross_valusoft

So how many of you experienced guys have seen that message before?

 

I am attempting to do a gnd copper pour with the polygon command, but

get this error message. Can someone suggest the steps to follow in

identifying where the invalid polygon might be. The screen recentres on

the middle of the left vertical boundary of the board layout ... and

there is nothing at that location.

 

Would appreciate some clues please. And yes I have been successful using

this technique on other boards so I think that I have the fundamentals

correct.

 

Regards,

 

Ross

    Solved! I do not understand why ... but a seemingly unrelated and

    unrouted top layer signal seemed to be the problem. When I saw its tiny

    little nose poking out of the corner of the screen, I routed it and then

    the copper pour went perfectly.

     

    Thanks for reading.
