Does anyone know how to create a polygon with a hole in the middle? It
must be so easy but i just cant figure it out! I want to create a
region and have a gap in the middle.
Hope someone can help :D

Gareth,

Create your outer region and set it as the target (ctrl T)
Create your inner region and select it so that it's highlighted
Then use Objects -> erase
This will cut a hole in your outer polygon but will still leave the
original inner polygon. Just select this and delete it, if you don't
need it.
