I want to put a PTH or two through from topside into a copper pour area bottomside but I want full copper round the pad, I don't want any spokes when I pour. How do I make the copper fully surround chosen pad(s) without putting spokes in? I still want spokes around other pads so I don't want to switch the function completely off if possible. I've been going round manually fattening up existing spokes till they occupy all the empty space but there must be another way? Thanks.

Thank you all. It is indeed the "Not Isolated" option which has the desired effect here. I did see that, but the (misleading) text "Not Isolated" does little to suggest that spokes will be omitted in favour of complete connection. I guess it's referring to thermal isolation, i.e. it's connected but you still stand some chance of getting it hot enough to solder to?! I can see that now but I didn't before and so didn't bother trying it.

Ed,

Thanks for pointing that out (now corrected) .... these things get confused north of the border !

When you now re-pour that pad will flood completely.

Not often one has to correct Iain, but,-

should read,-
