I get the same problem as you. The vias you placed have no net name, so can't connect its to a zone which have a net name. A workaround is to place the vias AFTER filling the zone and don't modify the board any more. > The same happens with the vias of the SMA > connectors on the same board. A such SMA connector: http://fr.farnell.com/johnson-emerson/142-0701-801/jack-sma-ci- launcher/dp/1608592?Ntt=160-8592 Did you add a net name to the pins of the connector? > Also in the GERBER plots the cutouts are > still there. > > What do I do wrong? > > When I define the zone parameters PCBnew gives the error message that I did > choose the "no connected" option and this would create copper island. If you want to create a zone as a ground plane, you HAVE to choose a net name for the zone. > Maybe > for additional explanation: I created the board without making a schematic > in KiCAD. This isn't a good idea, this is a good way to make many mistakes. Regards, Alain -- La version française des pages de manuel Linux http://manpagesfr.free.fr
