Pins - Solid Fill and Thermal Relief on same net - How to?

I have a cylindrical connector that has 37 pins and 4 mounting holes. The 4 mounting holes and a couple pins connect to the chassis gnd net. I generate a copper shape so all on the chassis gnd net connect to the shape BUT I want the mounting holes to be solid contact and the pins to have a thermal relief for soldering.

Going through all of the shape parameters, this does not seem possible to do as both the mounting hole and pin are considered through holes for which there is only one selection.

Ideas?

Thanks,

Tom

That is true but you can select the Pin and right-click>Property Edit, amongst the Pin properties is Dym_Thermal_Conn_Type, you can override the contact type for the Pin by selecting from the values for the property, for example, Full Contact for a "solid", "no thermal", connection.
