Thermals on isolated vias

autodeskguest over 17 years ago

Can anyone tell me how to apply thermals to isolated vias connecting ground

planes? I don't want to turn on "Generate thermals for vias" option in the

DRC. Thanks.

Leo,

I recommend you add "Testpins" connected to GND in your schematic. That
way you will have single pad components on your PCB that you can place
anywhere in your GND polygons with thermals enabled. That way you don't
have to use vias as test points.
(Obviously this applies to any other signal where you want to add a test
point)

That's what I meant with the pad-only devices.
