I've created a ground plane on my Proteus schematic but for some reason the autorouter is totally ignoring it and trying to link all of the ground connections with traces.
How do I fix this and force the autorouter to use the ground plane?

- Go to zone mode and select the area of PCB.
- Select NET as GND.
- Select Allow nesting.
- Select your desired layer.
Then you won't face this problem. If you want, you may comment your email then I can send you the video of the process.
Look the connection is mixed with the ground plane. It won't be visible if you print bottom copper.

\$\begingroup\$ But it's working in my screenshot. Look at the hole. The GND terminal is connected to the ground plane. \$\endgroup\$ Apr 2, 2020 at 13:39

\$\begingroup\$ Looking at your screenshot, it's still routing a GND trace on the bottom copper rather than just dropping to the ground plane? I'm sorting you a screenshot now \$\endgroup\$ Apr 2, 2020 at 13:53
