For rectangular shape, just simply use PLACE/FILL to place a filling to negative layer. To place other shapes, use PLACE/POLYGON, set up grid size equal or smaller than track width to get a solid plane. Hope this will help.

Placing a keepout fill in these areas does not work. The Gerber files still show the plane in these areas. Does Protel have this capability, or is there some work around?
