Connector pins fail to connect to ground plane.

[BeauWebber]

Hi, I have a multi-pin connector where the pins that should be connected to ground fail to connect to the ground plane.
I have had similar ground problems before, but this is not a bus-related problem.

A wire from ground to the connector pin fails to connect with the ground plane, even when explicitly labeled "GND".
The ground plane is connected to "GND=POWER".

Is the different labelling the problem ?
I have explicitly used wires to do the connection.

The other component grounds are connecting to the ground plane fine.

Hi,

You need to find which pads stack the part uses and edit that style and set the inner styles to be the same as the top and bottom.

Kind regards,

Thanks, I will give that a go.

Yes that worked fine.
All I had to do was right click on any pin on the connector,
say edit pin, and that told me which pinstack it was using.
Then go to the left menu of icons, and click on the pinstack icon.
Choose the same pinstack from the list, edit, and copy the existing top and bottom entries down to Inner layers 1 and 2 (which is all I am using)
Save and then all these connectors' pins are updated.
Works fine.
Thanks.
