gEDA-user: Combining polygons

[Jeremy Pedersen]

Hello all,

Earlier this week, I posted a message asking how I could combine several
polygons in the ground plane into one larger polygon. I have heard nothing
back since I've posted, even though the list has been busy this week. If my
question is a stupid one, I wish someone would tell me why.

Many CAD packages allow you to combine shapes, so I am simply wondering if
there is a way to do this in PCB. I quote my original e-mail below:

>Hello all,

>I created a PCB layout about a month ago and built the ground plane from
rectangles, irregularly shaped polygons, and a few lines. All of these are
in the >"solder" layer, but they area all separate from one another.
Ideally, I would like to "merge" them into one single piece, because this
keeps me from >accidentally dragging polygons out of place and the like, and
it would make my layout that much cleaner. I have looked in the
documentation, but I can't >find anything relevant. Does anyone know of a
way to combine these different objects into one large piece?

>Thanks,
>Jeremy

Thanks much,
Jeremy
