There are several copper fill options in my layout design package, could anyone give a plain English description of them? I put in my 2cents in the ones I used. Thanks in advance.
*****************************************************************
*************************** Copper fill options **********************
*****************************************************************
Normal Copper: used to fill copper in a marked region entirely.
Hatched Copper
Poured Copper: used to fill copper in a marked region while cleared of the components and signal tracks?????
Poured Copper void: used to clear the poured copper temporarily, can switch to Poured Copper option again later.
Plane
Plane Void
Place Void
Route Void used to fill copper in a marked region while cleared of Route tracks?????
Via Void [Fill Styles under this item] : this seems useful when running power tracks between top and bottom layers to place via in overlapping area.
.Horizontal
.Vertical
.F-Diagonal
.B-Diagonal
.Cross
.Diagonal-Cross
.Solid
.Empty
Component Height: fill copper to component height???

This is an old design package, I can't find manual for it. Thanks again, I really appreciate your help.
