Merging of PADs with Ground plane

raul5565

I have a board with the GND copper filled. I am using Allegro PCB design L (Legacy)

There are the PADs of the componets which has to be grounded, are right now gets connected to the GND plane with the 2 single tracks one vertical and one horizontal, instead of completly merging with the GND plane.

Is it possible to merge the PADs completly with the GND plane????

    Set the Find Filter for Pads only, hover over the pad, right-click>Property Edit, add the Dyn_Thermal_Conn_Type of Full Contact, this will remove the Thermal Reliefs from the Pad(s).
