--001a113d0842e7e6ff05328d2640 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hi, Deleting a hole in a polygon from the GUI is as you describe... you will need to delete the vertices individually until only two remain. Alternatively, you could select the polygon you're working with (so you can find it in the file), save, then open the .pcb file in a text editor. Search for "selected" to find the object in question, and you should be able to delete the entire "Hole ( .... )" section from the polygon. Sometimes I create holes by drawing positive polygons on a spare design layer, then (assuming the holes are non-overlapping, AND entirely inside the target polygon outer contour), you can just paste the coordinate sections from the layer with the positive polygons, into "Hole (....)" sections in the target polygon. I've used this to good effect recently whilst creating complex hole cutout shapes to beautify the clearances around some high voltage components on a two layer PCB.
