I am doing a large 4 layer board, and I am trying to follow the instructions in the DE99 destruction manual. It does not work as it says in the book, and as always, in a rush to do the boards.........

I am doing this on an existing design, and just doing simple complete re-designs, while I get constant updates and changes, the usual....

I have set up a GND and a +15V internal layer.
It will not let me pick a net for it on either plane.
If I add another plane, (5th layer) then it lets me add the net ot it.

I have 2 +5V nets, +/- 15V. 12V for the power plane nets, and a ground and digital ground for the GND plane.

I can't set nets for either, but I can put in the polygons for the grounds, and they are there, but not connected at connectors yet.... It does connect to the pads like it should, but still have to fake it out at connector.......or do it right........

I have selected the power nets, the power layer was on, and in draft mode for the pads.

It says I have no internal planes defined in the stack........

Do I have to remove everything on those layers first? Some tracks still there, from last design.
Should I remove all the nets from the 2 inner layers and re-do it?

Is there a page missing from the destruction manual?

The forum is the only place I know that can help me out, and sure hope that it won't go away..........

Thanks!
