Internal Plane in new version of Altium
federico.massimi , 07-08-2020, 12:03 PM
Hello,
I write because I have a problem switching to the new version of Altium (from the light version to the dark version just to understand).
The problem concerns the plans, practically in the Layer Stack Manager, I don't understand how to assign a net to an internal plane.
Also if I try to go on an internal plane, the polygons are disabled (see screenshot), so how do I, for example, assign the GND net to an internal layer and draw the polygons for a power on a plane.
For now I solve creating all signal layers (in this way the poligons are enabled) and manually create a full poligon for GND and the power polygons, but what would be the correct procedure?
Thanks in advance.

Click on the layer TAB with a plane, and then simply double click into your board.
