Assigning copper pour to a net

D Campbell

Hello all,

I have another pretty simple question.  I want to fill the top layer of my board with copper pour.  The way I tried to do it was I took the board outline and did a Z-Copy and contracted the board outline a little and made that dynamic copper.  This works perfectly but the copper is not assigned to any net.  I can't seem to figure out how to assign this to a net.  I'm sure it's simple but I can't seem to find where to do this.  The options menu doesn't have the net field like it does when you're creating the pour from a shape.  

Hopefully that made sense. 

Thank you!

    You can assign during the z copy as well.  Before right.mouse->done just select down to "Assign net" in the right mouse menu.

    Also you can "Shape->Select Shape".  The options menu will allow you to change or select the net you want to assign to.
