You can set the polygon to be "solid", "s" key, but it does mean it will short against everything it touches. I (think) I added a cheat which allows you to set the pad clearance to zero (in the PCB file), and recent versions of PCB will "do the right thing". This isn't available from the UI though (it is on my local branch), and will trigger a DRC error. I often just use a small "solid" polygon which shorts against things to bridge the gap between a pad and a bigger, clearing polygon. Alternatively - as you guessed, is to use "joined" traces. > gene > > > _______________________________________________ > geda-user mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
