When I design surface mount boards I make extensive use of planes, and it is a severe annoyance that I can't automatically connect those planes to component pads. The standard solutions to this problem seem to be either:
1) Use a solid plane. But that makes soldering difficult. 2) Draw a very small solid rectangle to connect your pad to the plane. That works, but it's labor intensive. I'm a novice to the pcb code base, and I couldn't find much developer documentation, but I am willing to try to add this feature. I need a little help though: the pcb code base is too large for me to grok all at once. Could someone please tell me where to start? What would I have to modify to allow this? -Alan _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
