Incorrect plane GND with via not isolated

Singe
Singe over 1 year ago

I've imported a project from EAGLE for compatibility to OrCad PCB Editor 17.4 . The board is 4 layer. Works well but I've a problem with GND plane. On TOP, BOT, and POWER planes I've a GND shape that fills void parts of the board, actually via not assigned to GND net are isolated from this shape. But on GND plane I've the same shape that fill the board, but in this case all via, both attached to GND and others (assigned to other nets) are all connected to this GND shape.

What's wrong? I've tried to recreate the shape but it continue to fill including non related vias.

    Hi Singe,

     Can you perform show element on those vias and check the nets connected to those vias. As per my understanding, you're saying vias connected to different nets are connected to GND on GND layer.
