You need to use InPolygon (or InPoly) rather than IsPolygon (or IsPoly). You need to test against the member tracks of the poly (InPoly) rather than the polygon itself. Ian I don't understand! There's no mention of InPoly in the PCB Rules and Constraints Editor. Can you point me at the relevant KB article. All my searches turn up nothing.
