I am using a 2 layer pcb board,after having a copper pour on both the layers i need to add GND vias on the board.when i try to copy and paste the existing GND via it does not get automatically connected to GND but shows no net name,so if i need to have around 200 via then each tym after pasting it i need to assign the net name as GND to it.Is there any other way to do this as its time consuming n there are chances to miss out some.

waiting for reply......
 

Which software are you using?

If allegro means just click copy icon go to option tab in that there is a option "Retain net of vias" select it and paste the vias where ever you required the same net will maintain.

Click to expand...

i am using altium in which after pressing 'ea' we get paste array in which there is an option to retain net name but that goes only for one time,again if i paste it then it is the via with no net name.
 

Make sure you have the polygon poured on the board and that you have a net assigned to it (double click the polygon and select a net in the "Connect to Net" drop down box. If you now place a via on the polygon pour it should automatically be connected to that net.
 

There, I knew it wouldn't be long before someone that knew what they are talking about came along
 


I already have a polygon pour which is connected to GND on both the layers i.e. top and bottom layer and later on i need to add via on it......
 

i will try out this....
