thanks Brad
i solved it by pasting into a new blank pcb
but of course i lost a lot of stuff
so after you wrote i chased this a little more
i too had cleared all nets (which doesn't work)
then i just assigned the planes to no net and bingo, they stayed gone
just as you say
you don't have to re-add those nets, just assign to no net
i can confirm that deleting all rules and classes has no effect
now the sad part ...
having gone through all this my memory suddenly woke up and i remembered
do that 'no net' business a while back
it seemed obvious at that time
sigh

Dennis,
This is so funny, I had exactly the same thing happen to me yesterday
afternoon. Precisely the same problem. I just gave up, so I have two plane
layers listed on my layer screen, so what. Sorry didn't find a solution myself.
In my case it was on a board originally imported from PADs, so I thought it
could be an aberration of the import process.
Eureka, found my problem. I decided to look a little further since you were
experiencing the same problem Dennis. What struck me as funny was that the two planes
listed a net association even though all nets had been deleted from the design. I
re-added those two nets, disassociated the planes from those nets to "No Net",
then I could delete the planes from the layer stack and they stayed deleted. In the
process I had also gone through all of the DRC rules and removed anything associated with
those planes but that alone hadn't fixed the problem.
Moral: Disassociate your planes from a net, delete the planes from the
layerstack, then delete all your nets.
Sincerely,

Subject: Re: [PEDA] 99SE POWER PLANES DELETION
99SE
I've got a board which started life as a 4 layer
now am using for outline template, design rules and some other details
but it will be a 2 layer
after i delete all the primitives on the power planes the Layer Stack
manager allows me to delete the planes, says 'confirm delete?', the
planes disappear from the stack up and i say 'OK'
now on the Document Options Layers dialog the planes are still listed
and if i reopen the Layer Stack manager it shows them back in place again !
how do i get rid of these layers?
they just keep coming back!
