Circular ground plane from polygon?
« on: July 08, 2018, 01:10:37 am »
I've done this before so I know its possible, but I can't seem to get it to work this time.  I've made a circular PCB defined by a circle.  I click the circle and then choose "Create Polygon from selected primitives".   Then I go to polygon manager (first attached image) and change it Solid copper fill.  Finally I hit repour ... and nothing happens.  I just get a transparent polygon over my layer (second attached image).

What am I missing?

Closing altium and relaunching resolved the issue.  Apparently it was just a bug in the program.

Huh, I was going to say you need a net object connecting to it.  I think that's a Remove Dead Copper thing though.
