Jean,
 
Attach the snd full contact  property to the pin and just manually add
some voids to create the relief or connections you want.

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] 8-way connections



Hi folks,

I have a surface mount DC-DC Converter with round pads which I would
like to connect to a top surface plane with an 8-way connection. I can
get it to work if I choose the "8 way connect" under the shape
parameters for smd pins, but I really don't want all my smd pins to
follow this rule, just this pin. I've tried to attach the
Dyn_Thermal_Con_Type = 8_way and/or the Dyn_thermal_Best_Fit = True
properties to the pin, but I still only get 4 connections. Any idea what
else I might try?
Thanks for the help!
Jean
