Multi Layer Board Question

 Sounds like either the copper on the plane layers does not have an associated net name or the vias are not properly set up.  I suspect the first.

You can always post up your board if this does not solve the problem.

First ,Pls check the shapes has associated nets attached.

Second, Pls check the shapes are static / Dynamic.

 Thanks, for the info.

I tried it and it don't seem to work.

What I have is.

This board was done in Orcad layout and it was done 4 layer board. We were asked to convert it to Allegro if we can. I converted it and everything came in except fro the Pwr/Gnd plane. What the board looks like is there is shapes where the diff Pwr and Grn planes are seperated. I tried to do what you had said but it didn't work. I know in Orcad Layout you setup a copper pour to the Pwr/Gnd planes you want. Is Allegro done the same way? 

Can you give me the steps on createing the planes?

Thanks, Dennis 

In the Allegro menu select Shape >Polygon (or Rectangle)
In the Options form set the following
       Layer
      Shape type (Static or Dynamic)
      Pick the net name the shape will be assigned to
Digitize the shape
Use the Right Mouse Button (RMB) to set the parameters (Clearances; Thermal types etc)
RMB done the command
If the shape is Dynamic the voids will be created if the Dynamic Fill is set to Smooth. Look under Display >Status under the Shapes category)
If the shape is a static you will need to create the vioids using:
      Shape >Select Shape or Void
      Shape >Manual Void >Element
      RMB >Parameters. Set the parameters you need.
      RMB > Void All
    
Hope this helps.

If the shapes are still there,
Select shape -> RMB -> Assign net -> Assign net name: ex) GND or +5V -> RMB -> Done
If the shapes are not there,
Shape -> Polygon (or rectangular) -> Assign net -> Draw the shape -> RMB -> Done
