This is one of the few times in eagle that I revert to their command
line rather than the GUI.  I'll type "poly gnd" in the cli window, and
then draw a big rectangle that usually extends well outside of the 
dimension
layer (makes it easier to find later.)  Then you click the ratsnest 
button
to get it do calculate the polygon/trace interaction.

Make sure you have polygon "isolate" parameters set as you desire, or 
it will
probably end up using some tiny value from the design rules...
