Floods, Planes and Polygons for Ground and Power | Altium Designer 17 Essentials | Module 24

If working with polygon pours is actually better and easier, why does concept of a power plane exist in the program?

[@abumusa247]

hi, I'm not getting the polygone setting tab when I'm clicking the pour polygone option, It's directly pouring the board according to it's preset I guess. How do I get that setting menu?

[@Zachariah-Peterson]

In the PCB editor, you can right click, go to the Polygons option, and then select Polygon Manager.

Is there a way to blot out the ground ratsnest lines. It looks so complicated when designing the pcb looking at all the ground or chassis lines?

I need to do a polygon copper pour first but how do I do this?

[@stefanstef7161]

This software is awful in how to set up polygons. I have never seen such bad software and in addition it is a shame to release such software worldwide and everyone is constantly complaining about the same things. I wasted many hours finding out things that don't really make sense. I tried over time to work with this software but I gave up because it is not intuitive at all, it is even annoying and illogical.

@@stefanstef7161 Not true. You just need to learn how to use it, that's all. I like this software now. It's far easier to use than diptrace. That's for sure. After the schematic is drawn, I go directly to the PCB mode and design it from there. I skip all that ratsnet crap!
