Bottom Layer Polygon to Bottom Overlay

[klema]

Hello everyone

how copy bottom polygon to bottom overlay?

Convert polygon to region,
Change region's layer to overlay.

There's no way to have it update automatically (when repouring the polygon).  This must be repeated manually (or via script, I suppose).

Edit:
Specifically, it looks like you can't just convert (Tools / Convert / Create Region from Selected Primitives), because a poly isn't primitive.  Try:
Select polygon
CTRL+R, click twice (makes a copy)
Make sure the copy has the same attributes (if auto-repour is on, the poly will be empty)
Tools / Convert / Explode Polygon to Free Primitives (this converts it to a Region)
get Region properties, set layer to Overlay.

Paste Special (E-A) seems to work on 14.3.

Does it save clearance voids?

Just tried it and it does not keep any voids. It makes sense, since it's just a normal polygon drawn on a different layer.
