	Now mirror the writing with keyboard key [m] so that it appears legible when viewed from below. Create the ground plane with function [6] ''[[Signal Polygon]]'' on layer 2, "copper bottom" around the deletion rectangle. It works in the same sense for copper top: First draw a filled rectangle on layer 15 "Deletion top", write the taxt itself on layer 16 "Copper top" using the text function. No need to mirror the text. Then use key [6] to create a signal polygon on layer 16 "Copper top" around the deletion rectangle and fill the polygon. This variant is to be preferred over the one above, as it means less stress electrically for the potential of the ground plane (e.g. the signal GND).<br><br>		Now mirror the writing with keyboard key [m] so that it appears legible when viewed from below.

	If you have an already filled ground plane (= a rendered signal polygon) into which you want to insert a text, you must first change the signal polygon back to the unfilled state. This is done in the layout menu under the menu item '''Actions/Ground planes/Un-fill all polygons'''. Then insert the text as described above and fill (render) the polygon directly: double-click on the signal polygon and tick the radio button at "Fill directly (Execute computation in copper layer)". <br><br>		If you have an already filled ground plane (= a rendered signal polygon) into which you want to insert a text, you must first change the signal polygon back to the unfilled state.
