Hello Dave,
Thanks for reverting back. I got that right yesterday and completed the board.

Here is how i did it:

Selected Shapes --> Polygon
Then,
Selected View --> Windows --> Options

In the Options Tab (at the right end of the screen)selected the following:

Active class/subclass : Etch /Bottom
Type: Dynamic copper
then setted 'connecting net'

Thats all. We can draw the solid Copper in PCB.

To make it Hatched..

Selected Shapes --> Select Shape or void
then, selected the shape i drew in the PCB.
right clicked --> parameters

in 'Shape fill' Tab selected
Fill stye : 'xhatch' -- 'Diag both'
Then setted 'line width'(eg:10mils) and spacing(eg: 100mils(for better veiwability))

Clicked 'Apply'

Thats it.

You can try it out and give your comments.

Suresh.
