gEDA-user: PCB: connect line to rectangle

2009-03-12 Thread Transistor Toaster
Hello, I have some lines that are ground that I am trying to connect to rectangles. If I try to do that, there is space erased on the rectangle surrounding the lines. How do I avoid this and make the connection? Advice greatly appreciated. Thanks, Frank -- Transistor Toaster transistortoas
