We are having a problem with a couple of our test points. When I connect them to componants with traces it removes the termal reliefs and doesn't connect the test point to the correct plane. When the traces are removed, it connects the test points correctly and addeds the thermal reliefs correctly. I have tried everything to correct this but nothing seems to work. The worst part is it is only occuring on a couple of the test points. I have attached a pdf of the incorrect thermals as well as one beside it that looks correct. We are using PowerPCB 3.6.

Vic,

Go to Setup / Preferences / Thermals and select the check box to the left of "ROUTED PAD THERMALS".
