Hi,

In order to get ground / power plane on the connection (top/bottom)
layers of a 2 layer pcb, we use the RECT and POLY area coverage. The
system leaves residues of "copper" around pads, lines and pins, that are
not connected to anything and really look bad.

How can we get rid of them without doing it on the output gerber files?

Thanks, Enoch.
