Polygons automatically filled with copper?

autodeskguest

If I create a polygon and name it (GND for instance) will it be

automatically filled with copper?  I think that is what the manual says

but want to be sure.

    Hi John,

     

    It actually depends on the situation.  For display purposes it won't always

    update the screen.  For that you need to run the ratsnest command (and have

    the bit set in the options to process polygons).

     

    If you mean during the CAM file generation then that is done automatically.

    I know that confused me when I started.  All polygons are processed

    automatically before the CAM processor creates gerbers.

     

    Cheers,

     

    James.
