Hi,

I am trying to create ground and power planes. The rectangle tools adeptly
avoids the pads. I was hoping to include them.

I went through the tutorial
<http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:gsch2pcb_tutorial> and when it came to
trying out nets, my results from gsch2pcb did not follow the tutorial.

It's not clear if I add global net attributes in the schematic symbol file,
and then delete the pins, how pcb is going to know pins (pads, now) are
connected to what net.

Right now, I have net attributes in gschem at the pin level and they are
ignored by pcb. In pcb, I just see "netname: -"

I am assuming if I can get the pads to have a net name, the polygon that is
drawn over it will assign itself to pad and then to the net.

If there are some mail archives I should be looking over, please let me
know. I feel like I am the millionth person to ask this question, but I
googled a few search terms and geda documentation comes up every time. I
read it over and I am not seeing what I need to do between gschem and pcb
to make the nets work.

Best,
Chris
