Hmmm, I could imagine adding/drawing a square (the tooling path which the tool bit follows) on a special "tooling" layer and negotiate with the board house or DIY if you happen to have access to a small router / milling station. This is similar with stuff drawn on the special "outline" layer. Dr

gEDA-user: Best way to connect an SMD pad to surrounding plane?

2008-07-25 Thread Eric Brombaugh
I've got an SMD pad that needs to connect to the surrounding ground plane. I could turn off 'clears polygons' and just let the pad be a hole in the solder mask, but that seems like asking for soldering trouble (hand soldering). I'd like to leave 'clear polygons' on, but thermal relief only work
