I recently started extensively working with polygon pours. It's not my first time using them, but at the moment i'm doing whole pcb's with them, mainly for thermal reasons.
Whenever i place a pour, it doesn't have a net by default. After placing i have to set the net in the properties manually. Is there a way to automatically assign the pour to a net? Just like when you start a trace on a pad, the trace is in the same net as the pad.
I had pretty good success just now. I was copying a certain shape in a repeating pattern. I drew it once, copied "from" one of the flooded pads and pasted onto the other pads in the series. I drew the shape in such a way that it each polygon only contacted one net.
When I repoured all (T - G - A hotkey...) they all accepted their new nets.
If it matters: I had already routed all the connections with thin traces before placing the pours, and I was "pour over all objects."
When drawing the polygon borders you cannot already define which network to connect it to. It is usually required to do this by hand because there are often objects close to each other that belong to different networks, but if the polygon placement commences at the same location as an existing object that is already connected to a Net, then the Net property of the new object is automatically assigned to that Net.
You can refer to this Altium guide where this is mentioned.
