problem with ground plane

Hello forum,

 

I have problem with ground plane.  I successfully create a polygon and call it GND, but when I press Ratsnets, it only connects a few ground connections together, as the attached picture shows. Maybe someone knows what could be wrong?

 

Thank you

At a guess, one or more of your DRC clearance limits is set absurdly high.

You would get a much more useful and definitive answer if you post more useful information, such as attaching the actual design files instead of just a screen shot.

I checked the DRC settings, but I didn't notice a very high limit anywhere. I 'm also attaching the PCB and Design rule file.

 

Thank you,

So that attachment has one ground polygon, on the top layer, which shows nothing. The reason for this is that the polygon itself has its "isolate" parameter set to 12mm. There is no part of the board where there's a 12mm gap from the nearest non-ground trace.
