The new grid support is fantastic. I love it. I did some editing of

Has there been any work or planning toward making it easier and
less error-prone to produce schematics using “tidy” single-pin nets for
power symbols and I/O port symbols?
By “tidy”, I mean that the completely unnecessary “:1” should
not be shown on the schematic. I try to name my power nets with

I am confused why pcb won't allow me to add a thermal to a via and to a
through-hole pin. I am trying to connect these to the ground plane.
Clicking the via or pin with the "THRM" tool has no effect. I expect
it to add the X connecting the pin/via to the surrounding polygon
ground plane.
I even

How does the polygon hole tool work? I am trying to make a hole in my
ground plane polygon. So I made the ground plane layer active, and made
sure that the ground plane polygon is unlocked.
Then I click the HOLE tool and click four points to define a perfect
square. However, nothing happens --

I tried to use a nice big ground plane floods on my 2-layer PCB design
to provide a low impedance ground and to implement the reference
design for the RF IC (Atmel AT86RF231) and PCB antenna designs I was
using.
I know you can't have a perfect ground plane on a 2-layer board when
you are routing t
