How to make shape to attach to pads

jnavarro

Hi, 

I'm trying to draw a shape on a layer where I have 2 pads in the GND net, I setup the shape like this 

But the shape is avoiding the pads in that same Gnd net.   Notice that I draw 2 traces before with vias to a Gnd layer and the shape is indeed attaching to these but not the pads. 

Am I missing something that I need to setup, to have the shape to cover all the area I want?

Thanks!

    If you select "Pin" and then Edit|Properties, you will find a setting "Dyn_Thermal_Con_Type". This can be assigned to "Full Contact" and then, the pad/pin will make a full connect to the shape (if on the same net of course) regardless of any global thermal relief setting. Note that this can be done already when creating a footprint such as a mounting hole, or a footprint type TO-220 where the tab should be fastened to a plane using screws.
