Question about Ground Planes in Circuit Stuido

Hello, I am new to Circuit Studio. I have a few technical questions about the program that I can't seem to find answers for on line. The first one is... how do I connect a pad, either through hole or SM, to a ground plane?

    Hi, That is a pretty general and basic question. Have you searched for an gone through some of the tutorials? Circuitstudio has some and also some for Altium Designer might help you. Maybe start at this…

    Hi Jack. In addition to Thomas's suggestion I would also recommend watching the tutorial videos that are on this site if you are new to CircuitStudio and want to get up to speed quickly. Getting Started…

    Hello Thomas and Peter. 

     

    I am having another issue with Circuit Studio that I hope you can help me with. The issue is with the Altium Content Vault. When I search for a part, in the vault explorer,  I use to get a folder that was titled “All Folders” and the part I was searching for was inside that folder. I would click on the folder, it would open and the part list would appear. For some reason, this folder no longer appears when I do a part search in the vault explorer. Now what I get is a folder that reads, “ Object reference not set to an instance of an object”. I click on the fold, but nothing happens. It doesn’t open. Please see the attached screen shot. Do you know what might be causing this issue and how I can get back to the folder that use to say “All Folders”, so that I can view the parts that I am searching for?

    Please see the several other related threads that have happened in the past week.  This seems to be a new issue that people are seeing.  We are waiting to hear from Altium on this.

    Ok, thank you. It's very frustrating. It was working fine a few days ago then it started giving me issues the other day. Is there any thread that tells you how to correct the issue?

    We are waiting for Altium to investigate as the vault issue does seem to be affecting a number of people.
