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?

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?
Global settings is in the DRC window (clearance tab, wire-via/ wire-wire
number (Polygon is a wire-fill)). Rerun ratsnest after changing DRC
settings.
If you need a bigger clearance for a single polygon, look in the polygon
properties. Here you can select isolate, but it has to be greater than DRC
clearance setting, orelse DRC settings will be used.
Read help/manual a bit on polygons. There are other issues you need to
know about if you have overlapping polygons, and wire width of polygons
also matter in how it is filled.
Next problem, I have text on the bottom where the ground plane should come.
How can I create a clear rectangle around that text. If I create a poly
around the board the text is still there but completely enclosed.
