Are you sure you want 100% connection like the other reply suggested? That can be very hard to solder, especially on a multilayer board where the top is well "stitched" to internal ground layers. I really think pads should have the same "thermal" feature that pins do, but since they don't I just draw lines and set *them* to merge with the poly. If I want low impedence I just make a "+" of wires. -- Ben Jackson AD7GD <[email protected]> http://www.ben.com/ _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
