airwires.

 

Even if I can cancel the fill using the stop button, fills has been

partly executed, and what pops up is incomplete fills that hasn't been

cut out yet.

 

To avoid the issue I try to copy a gnd via instead of adding a new

followed by rename, but I'd rather see this not happening in the future.

 

For the same slow fill reason, I'd like to, somehow, be able to manualy

trigger the fill of single polygon, like it has been suggested before.

 

Hi,

 

you can switch off calculating polygons with Options/Set/Misc "Ratsnest

processes polygons". Or in the command line with

SET POLY ON | OFF

I haven't tried, but I doubt its the drawing itself that takes time. Its

the calculation of how the filling gets done.

I tried your suggestion and lost all ratsnest functionality for

polygons. That was not what I wanted.

You can also process single signals (not single polygons, sorry) with

for example:

RATSNEST GND

This would process the GND signal only (and all its GND polygons).

This is known (I have lot of years behind me on Eagle). I want it to

process a single polygon. Not a single signal.

In order to bring polygons into the outline mode you can use

RIPUP @;

for all polygons.

For polygons of certain signals, for example

RIPUP @ GND VCC;

Known too. I even put this on a context menu.
