I want to define a zone for gold plating. If I put a polygon on a layer it makes the layer included in all the vias. How do I make it not create via circles on this extra layer I defined? Or, how to define a layer that doesn't get via circles? John Griessen _

Looking at your screen shot I'd say that J2 is on the solder side (so it's greyed), while J1 and the brown traces are on component side - that's why the trace does not connect to J2 while it appears to overlap. The rat line on the overlapping pin is not a dot, probably because it connects to the f
