gEDA-user: PCB: Power Plane Around Traces

[Neal Baer]

As I understand it, the rectangle or polygon commands will automatically 
create a keep out area around a via or a pin.

Is it possible to create a power plane on the component side (or any 
signal layer) that will automatically create a keep out area around the 
traces, so the traces will not short to the plane?

Thanks,
