Assign attributes to an image imported into a copper layer

**Feature Request** Brief title for your desired feature: Assign Net and Solid/Cutout/NPTH attributes to an image imported into a copper layer as if it were a Solid Region. How would you like the feature to work? If an image is imported into a copper layer, there needs to be at least a Net attribute available to allow the copper representing the image to be assigned to a net so that it could be assigned to a *different* net from any surrounding copper. Then it will have a clearance set all the way round it. Another possibly useful attribute would be to be able to assign it a status of Solid, Cutout or NPTH in the same way that can be applied to a Solid Region. Maybe what should happen is that an imported image is somehow converted to being represented in the PCB editor as a Solid Region? Why is this feature important to you? Without the `Net` attribute, an image imported into a copper layer becomes merged with any other traces or copper areas on that layer. With the ability to assign a net to the imported image-as-copper, the image can be surrounded by a clearance so that it still visible. * The Solid/Cutout/NPTH attributes further increase the flexibility of this feature for example making it possible to make PCBs into functional Artworks. :) See: https://easyeda.com/forum/topic/Image_as_copper_zone-ldJDUc6oG

I vote for this too! Trying to import an image of a lattice-style pressure pad button (a bit like what you get in things like TV remote controls) but even when set as TopLayer it appears to be going under the mask rather than as bare copper!

@samjewell, "Trying to import an image of a lattice-style pressure pad button ... but even when set as TopLayer it appears to be going under the mask rather than as bare copper!" Copy the image onto the Solder Mask Layer then place it over the image in copper to create an aperture in the Solder Mask the same shape and size as the image in copper. Check it using gerbv. Or just make your shape from scratch as a PCB Footprint (there are some already in the library).
