In my last pcb I used vias with thermals to connect traces to ground plane. Later I considered this as a minor bug of my own because thermals makes no sense there.
I just started a new board and does this some mistake. But it seems that DJ uses thermals too for his 4.3 SMT Blinker tutorial. Is there a reason for using thermals for plain vias, which need no soldering? If filled connections are better, how can I do these. Clicking left mouse button multiple times while holding shift key works, but is some labor. And a related question: When via tool is selected, auto pan is active. I hate this -- when I move mouse-pointer to tools-menu inner of window moves, which is not my intention. I can set panning speed to 1 (slow), but not to zero. In the wiki I found the recommendation to press right mouse button to switch of panning, but it seems not to work in pcb 20080202 with GTK GUI.
