Remove designated pad's thermal relief void to copper plane

In OrCAD PCB editor (version 17+), how to remove designated component pad's thermal relief void to the copper plane, so the pad will have a direct connection to the plane?

This should be done only to specific designated pads, while the other pads in the design should keep their original thermal relief behavior.

Sure thing. This can be done on a pin by pin basis.

In the find filter check pin. Right click on the pin you wish to edit and choose "Property edit"

In the list click on "

DYN_THERMAL_CON_TYPE " and give it a value of "Full Contact"

Give that a try and see if it works .

Note this assumes your copper pour is dynamic.
