You can no longer connect to vias with thermal relief, a pet gripe of mine,
if that's what you're trying to do. They broke that a while back.
There is a menu option to convert vias to free pads which will then permit
thermal relief connections. The only drawback with this method is that it
will leave the t.h.pads in place if you have the Auto Remove Loops option
enabled and the connecting traces are re-routed / ripped up. It also mucks
up your board reports.
If you are getting no connection at all, my appologies for being off track.
