Re: gEDA-user: Using polygons for creating a ground plane by hand

Ok, so the solder mask is a coating, and if I choose I could simply order a board without one. I suppose the advantages would be that it (obviously) keeps you from soldering where you shouldn't, and also keeps the board clean looking and prevents corrosion. And I suppose that since I've already made all of the elements, it wouldn't be too difficult to ensure the spacings between the pins and then make them into elements.

Ok. Is it the THRM button? If so, I can't get it to work. I click it, and it gives me a small black symbol resembling Germany's Iron Cross (if you're familiar with that symbol). If I place this over a via and left click, right click, or shift (and left click), nothing happens. I will see if I can find out about this tool in the documentation, but do you have any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks,
Jeremy
