Did you check the wiki? Although the pcb section is called "tips" it is more like FAQ. For your particular question: [1]http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:pcb_tips#why_is_it_possible_to_make_ a_thermal_for_pin_but_not_for_a_pad
using the ground plane as the GND netlist? [2]http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:pcb_tips#how_can_i_connect_tracks_pa ds_or_vias_to_my_polygon Thanks for that - no I had not seen those entries - or the entire 'PCB Tips' (or whatever it is called). (I realise that it is mainly my fault, but I find that I can never navigate wiki's. I've looked at the gEDA 'Documentation' page many times but I've never found how to navigate my way around it properly. I guess my negative experiences with most wiki's - not necessarily gEDA's - have meant that I simply don't try hard enough to search for things and find out how wiki's work).
