How do you pour polygon over the same net in eagle?

[Matt_Cuino]

Hello, let's say that I want all the pin with the same net/name, for example GND to be all poured over with no thermal gaps (hypothetically, I'm not actually going to do it) how do you do it? In AD, you can do that by checking "pour over the same net", but how do you do that in eagle?

My colleagues simply draw traces all over and make it shape like a polygon pour, they say it's too much hassle to figure it our.

Can someone please help me?

Hi,

I don't see the problem.
* press the "polygon" button. Select the correct layer and draw the polygon.
* press the "name" butten and give the polygon the same name as the signal in the schematic.
* press the "ratsnest" button to process the polygon
* if you want to switch off thermals just for this polygon, then press the "info" button, select the polygon and uncheck the thermals box
* use ratsnest
* I assume you can globally switch off thermals in the DRC settings.

All in all it should not take more than 15 seconds.

Hello: problem solved, but as a reminder for others who might run into the same problem as I did:

1. Make sure there is nothing on other layers that may hinder the pouring.

2. Make sure they have the same name.

3. If you don't like the thermal connection patter to your pad, you can disable it using information button.

Hello, I accidentally left a poly in the restrict layer and disabled the view.
