Creating a ground plane

autodeskguest over 14 years ago

I have finished creating the board layout except all the GND wires.

What I want is that all the free place on the board will be part of the GND

ground plane.

How should I do that?

Draw a polygon around the edges of the board. Then name it "gnd". Press
ratsnest to fill it.

That works, but where do I determinate the distance between the polygon and
its surrounding tracks and pads.
If I draw a polygon around text will it leave that area not filled?
