Creating a ground plane

autodeskguest

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?

    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.

     

    This is a bit different from porpotional fonts and vector fonts.

    Propotional fonts seem to make a nice square window, but that only shows

    up if you print (not plot) the layer.

    Vector fonts does add spacing around the text, but not in a window. You

    can draw a square (using wires) in the restrict layer close around the

    text. You may get fills inside it if the window is much bigger than the

    text and orhphans=on on the polygon. Play with it a bit and do ratsnest

    each time to change something.

     

    Solved the problem by placing a restrict on the text that is slightly

    smaller.

    After a ratnest it places a nice square around the text.
