Polygons not filling

autodeskguest

I'm using Eagle 4.16 on Win7 x64.  I've created a number of polygons and

tried to expand them by adding additional polygons.  Even though I give

these additional polygons the same names as the ones they're expanding,

they don't fill when I run Ratsnest (see the two

http://i.imgur.com/Hu5XL0m.jpg, lower left of Q1 and C9).  What am I doing

wrong?

 

Also, how does the solder mask interact with polygons?  Some areas of them

I want covered, but others I want to be bare copper.  How do I specify what

I want?

 

Thanks?

  • Thanks, Rob. I thought naming a polygon the same as an existing net

    established the connection.  That's how it worked for the others in the

    image.  How else can a connection be established?

     

    I realize I can modify the existing polygons, but I thought creating new

    ones would be easier. When that didn't work I was curious why?

    Drop a via somewhere within the orphaned polygon, then change its name

    to that of the polygon.
