gEDA-user: How to connect SMD pad to copper polygon



Hi,

I need to connect a pad of an SMD capacitor to a copper polygon on the 
soldering layer.

If I use the line tool the keepaway mechanism makes it impossible to 
connect to the copper.

Decreasing the keepaway distance in the pcb-file to 0 (Shift K is 
limited to 1mil) seems to work, but pcb does not detect the 
connections. 
The rats nets are still there.

Any suggestions?

best regards
Werner
