Altium Designer copper patch teardrop setting problem [Copy link]

 

The software version is Altium designer 18. After drawing the PCB and laying copper, I planned to fill the teardrop, but found that the teardrop can be filled between the connected wire and the via, but the connection line between the copper foil and the via cannot fill the teardrop, as shown in the figure below. What's going on? How should I set it to achieve the appearance of Figure 2?

Choose a cross connection, via g

The via and pad are cross connected, what should I do to fill the teardrop of the cross connection line?

This shouldn't be the setting.

Direct connection vias are better

Just make the middle cross line a little taller.

Just draw an area, copper can also be applied

Pad cross, is direct connection with via better?

I have tried increasing the spacing, but it still doesn't work. However, Figure 2 was drawn with the AD09 version, and the teardrops are still filled in with curved lines one by one. Using AD14 and AD18, they are filled in with a whole piece of curved trapezoidal copper. Is it because of the software version problem?

But it is a bit time-consuming to do this for every pad, or does the new version of the software no longer have this function?

Enter the rule settings (D+R) - Plane, set Power Plane Connect Style to Direct Connect, set Polygon Connect Style to Direct Connect

Right, I haven't drawn PCB for a long time

Doesn't this set both the vias and pads to direct connection? It's not about the settings for filling tears?

It should be a version problem. This is 99SE

ad18 You can add teardrops by connecting the VIA and the copper ground with a wire.

I suddenly found that the software version has been updated, but some functions have been reduced. I feel so uncomfortable. Thank you! However, if this is the case, it would be a bit cumbersome to redraw the lines for each pad to add teardrops!

AD18 problem, because I don't have this version installed, it is recommended to check the teardrop mode or choose a curved supplementary shape
