I can't make polygons in altium latest version
« on: June 27, 2024, 06:42:39 am »
I am revising a board and I am not able to make new polygons or edit polygons. All the polygons I create are assigned 0 area which means they cant be poured. essentially all the polygons on the board have been assinged 0 area and have been disabled.

Can you show a screenshot of the properties of one of the polygons as well as the polygon manager?  Is the Solid/Hatched/None selector in properties possibly set to 'None'?

The area is probably just a measurement of the copper area, not something that is assigned.

They are not pouring, maybe due to a design rule change or error, maybe related to all of that green color I see on the bottom layer?
Polygon pours -> Repour all does nothing right?
Profile -> Modify profile -> Look and Layout ->  Don't show users' signatures

Yeah, looks more like a design rule issue. It's choosing not to pour for some reason.

Perhaps there was a bug in the previous design rules and now that it's fixed it's obeying your design rules correctly when before it wasn't.
Check what the changes were between this version and your old one. Maybe there will be some info in there.

Or you could simply make a backup copy of all your pcb and start deleting design rules and putting everything back to stock, see if the issue comes right.
