I am updating an old design with some new features, but I cant proceed now because the copper pours cant be updated. When I try to, the entire pour becomes invisible (including its outline). I have schematic and layout in a new and old version. I tested some things and it seems that the error comes when updating from the new schematic. Strange that a schematic should affect copper pours...

*Updating new layout from new schematic changed nothing.
*Updating new layout from old schematic eliminates the errors.
*Updating the old layout from the old schematic works fine.
*Updating the old layout from the new schematic gives these problems.

The board contains 7 different pours, same problem with all of them. I use version 2.2.0.4. I'm using 973/2000 pins. The board outline is intact.

Please help me with this as soon as possible. I am already late ordering the new boards and I have spent too much time on this project to start it over from the beginning. I really hope that I've just missed a setting or something, but i cant see what..

Sure it's not a rendering problem? Does it look right in preview mode? Maybe try switch to OpenGL (or DX if you'r already on GL), or GDI rendering mode.

Ofterwise, you'll have to wait for Alex, really just guessing here :-) You could also try updating!

I've tried all three. I tried to see if it would render differently in 3D view, but that just caused the program to crash. Gerber preview showed the same problem with the copper pours. I could add that I've also tried changing computer without any luck.
