I think you are using a very old PCB tool. Use the latest CVS, or
snapshot release.

In the settings menu set "new lines arcs clear polygons". And it'll
clear. Use it with caution, since thermal connections are not checked
against DRC.

That's true. Grab a paper and a pen, draw the pads, calcualte the width
and the length of the wire, and draw it on the PCB layout. The rest is
the docs.

You mean newlib and oldlib?
