gEDA-user: ground plane fill

[Ryan Seal <rseal-atMUNGEDnaic_dot_edu>]

Hi,

I am new to gEDA and beginning my first non-trivial project. I have 
experimented with different layouts trying to get a feel for the pcb 
program and cannot seem to get the polygon/rectangle fill to work 
properly. It seems other layout programs (eagle,protel) allow you to 
perform the routes, get everything the way you want it, and then apply a 
fill over the existing board. Normally, this will provide proper 
clearance around parts, traces, vias, etc... but the behavior seems 
different when using pcb. Can someone point me in the right direction or 
provide a short answer on the proper usage of the polygon/rectangle fill 
function.

Thanks,
Ryan
