Dyn_Max_Thermal_Conns = 8 doesn't appear to help or hurt,
Dyn_Min_Thermal_Conns = 8 actually causes it to have no connections - I
guess since it can't figure out how to get 8 it doesn't bother putting
in any. I know there's room for 8 since applying the property at the
shape level gives me what I want.

Does setting Dyn_Min_Thermal_Conns = 8 and Dyn_Max_Thermal_Conns = 8 on
the pin help?

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
