Polygon won't connect to ground
« on: September 26, 2018, 10:55:02 am »
I suddenly came over a weird problem that I've never encountered before, my polygons won't connect to same net pads. They do connect if I choose 'hatched' instead of 'solid', they will also connect if I change the polygon connect rule to 'direct connect' instead of 'relief connect', but I don't want my polygons hatched and I don't want direct connection. Can anyone help me?

can you post your altium file, or make a new file with the same issue.

Then we can try to figure out what rule is causing your problem.

This is a work related project so I can't post it here. The problem is not with any other projects so I'm afraid I can't replicate it either.

drag a box around the entire PCB, copy/paste it into a copy of another project without the issue.

i'm pretty sure this is a design rule issue though, there will be some odd rule configured somewhere.
You could just start deleting all your custom rules until it starts working.

make sure that 'pour over all same net object' is checked
