Hey - that's working nicely. Thanks to John & DJ. Now trying to figure out the proper approach to doing ground plane. Turning on the "clear lines" setting would have been good if I'd known about it _before_ doing all those routes, but the shift-J shortcut is working nicely. One issue that's come up is that DRC is complaining about potential disconnects on polygons that are butted against each other. Seems that to avoid this I need to make them overlap. True?
