<<Pads do not connect to ground plane i've created.
The procedure that im folling is:

1. Draw a zone with copper side selected.
2. Fill this zone with Thermal and "H, V..." selected.

After this procedure the green zone is created but ground pads are not
connected.

What am i doing wrong?>>

Before you flood the plane make sure you have highlighted the net you want
connected to it.

The procedure I use is:

1.      Select layer

2.      Draw outline (if required)

3.      Highlight ground (or any other) net using highlight tool

4.      Flood layer
