It's not on/off. It's one of six different thermal types[*]. And we
already have SetThermal(). And SetFlag() et al don't have a way to
specify the layer.

It is a digital property, that can be turned on and off (per layer).
This is conceptually very different from a line width.
Click on the polygon you want to cut a hole in. THEN click on the
various corners.

How does the polygon hole tool work? I am trying to make a hole in my
ground plane polygon. So I made the ground plane layer active, and made
sure that the ground plane polygon is unlocked.
Then I click the HOLE tool and click four points to define a perfect
square. However, nothing happens --

I disagree - there is a separate thermal for each layer, and each
thermal can be one of many types. It's no more a

I believe, this is a missing feature. Even if thermals are technically
no flags in the internals of PCB. From a user perspective this is a

Based on your other report, you also want to know this: shift-clicking
the thermal tool changes the thermal type. One type is "no thermal -
solid", which is good for vias.

For the thermal tool to work, the CURRENT layer needs to be the layer
you want to add the thermal to.
If your current layer is "component", it won't add a thermal to "gnd"
even if that's the only layer with a polygon on it.

I am confused why pcb won't allow me to add a thermal to a via and to a
through-hole pin. I am trying to connect these to the ground plane.
Clicking the via or pin with the "THRM" tool has no effect. I expect
it to add the X connecting the pin/via to the surrounding polygon
ground plane.

Appears to be working well for me :) Allowing me to add some holes to
polygons to sort out a logo on the silk screen - great!
It is also wonderful to s
