Whilst in the process of gathering parts to build a dual 30 V 0–3A power supply published by a Czech Republic Student in 2016, I noticed the original Copper Artwork provided by the student had several copper Pour areas included in the layout, so I added the Copper Pour Areas successfully, but the option to "Pour Copper" is missing from the Right–Click Context Menu when I select the Copper Pour Area, as well as that, the part of the Hatch/Fill Dialog giving the various patterns from a drop–down menu is also coming up totally blank!

Have I got something wrongly set, an installation fault or is there something missing from my Windows installation itself?

I am using Easy–PC Version 24.0.5, on Windows 10 Professional 22H2.

Hi,
Is it possible that the copper pour area is in error somewhere, such that the polygon crosses over itself somewhere, or a side/line of the polygon backs onto itself ?

Regards,
Shadders.

No, it definitely is a Copper Pour Area – the "Tool Tip" that appears when I hover the mouse over it identifies the areas as such !

Not sure why your "Pour Copper" option doesn't work. I suspect that you have created a copper outline shape and not just a copper pour area?

I believe that you have to pre-define the hatched styles before the drop down menu works, - nothing pre-defined- nothing to show in drop down menu!
