I > believe those are your circles. This would be the correct phrase: I boxed out the ground plane. So there is no way of getting it to flood the boxed out areas again? When I place a via into a poly it gets isolated at first. I have to add thermals to the via. This is quite unusal as plated vias don't need thermals. When I put the via into a normal track it doesn't get isolated. I know I can use the shift key when placing the thermal to alter its style and the last thermal variant is simply a full connect ... I know PCB is quite old and there are a lot of issues. I just wanted to know if this behaviour: "Outboxed planes don't flood again if re-connected" is documented as bug? I am also willing to invest some time in bug hunting and maybe provide patches ... greetings, Bernhard -- Wer nicht gelegentlich auch einmal kausalwidrige Dinge zu denken vermag, wird seine Wissenschaft nie um eine neue Idee bereichern können.
