Move a trace - The Polygon FILLS IN

scotty2541

This is quite simple, but I can find nothing that tells me what to do...

I have a small board with a filled polygon on the top layer.  And traces on the bottom layer.  Using through hole components.

The polygon has the correct gap around the through hole pads, vias, etc.  UNTIL I MOVE A TRACE.  JUST ONE.

Now the polygon has completely filled in.

Is the only way to restore the spacing around the part foot prints, is to DELETE the entire polygon and re-draw it??

In Eagle, it was as simple as clicking the "ratsnest" button and it would re-draw the polygon plane correctly.

What's worse is that now EVERY component pad is shorted out by the polygon plane, and yet the DRC reports no problems.

HUH???

Can someone please explain this, or point me to a useful tutorial?

Thanks.

  • No it's fine, the shape is becoming Non Dynamic you can simply go to Display - Status (or Check - Design Status if using OrCAD) and click on update to smooth. Whilst you are there check the Dynamic Fill option, set it to Dynamic then the shape should stay "dynamic" and update if you move the trace.
