thermal pad on Eagle

endia · 5th November 2012, 09:51 PM

hi,
attempted my first pcb design in Eagle.. i created a groundplane but Eagle doesn't connect components to groundplane, instead outputs empty borders around the holes.. attached pictures are what i got and settings of groundplane? what should i do to connect them?
thanks in advance..

Did you rename the polygon to GND? Oh, I See, in the scematics, the GND is also named GND?

yes, sure..

oops.. no, i didn't draw the schematic in Eagle.. just placing the components to the board.. that is the problem?

I don't know how to solve this problem without using a scematic. Perhaps u could go for a star grounding

i think, i can draw the schematic to solve the problem..
thanks for your helps Knorfski..
