CS Polygon pour takes over 30 min

vuk1020

I have a somewhat high complexity board with multiple polygons on different layers. When I pour the polygons sometimes it takes over 30 minutes to do one polygon pour. Is this normal, shouldn't this be more efficient?

  • It takes that long for ONE polygon?  Do all of them take similar times or is it only one that is very complex?  That time does seem excessive.  I have not done complex polys with CS but the ones I have done have been less than 1 minute.

    Yes one polygon can take that long, when there are multiple polygons the problem gets even worse. I have noticed that if you pour them using the "Repour All" command they can sometimes go very fast but it's not consistent. When pouring them individually or through Object inspector it takes a very long time.

  • Rebuild your project.  There is a glitch somewhere in the project file.  Make a new project and import your existing project documents into it.  Don't delete your old project yet.  Save your rules and other settings so you can import them into the new project.  This should only take a couple of minutes and it will fix the problem.

    Hallo James,

     

    I create a new empty project, but I dont find the project import function. I Can add all existings files (schematics and pcb) to the project. Then I can open the PCB and import all Design-Rules from the old project und and layer-stack too. Is that the way that you meen?

    Yes.  By importing, I mean just add them to the new project.  I'm sorry that I wasn't more clear with that.
