Re: gEDA-user: How to connect SMD to copper plane in pcb 1.99

[Xtian Xultz <xultz@ig.com.br>]

You have to pull a line from the pad to the copper area. The line will have a
clearance area around him. With teh cursor over it, press the "j" key (it means
join) and the clearance area will disapear. Simple, huh? 
In the source code there is a text file with News and there it explains some
interessant features not well documented yet...
