Drawing filled rectangles and arcs on copper layers is necessary for capacitive sliders and wheels.

Drawing text and graphics on copper layers can be used to draw a logo on the board when silk screen is not used.

Is it simply a case of disabling a warning?

Or is it also a case of having to deal with DRC, zone fills and pad and via placement?
