Hi again PCBTech. One thought I forgot to include is a question. On this small part of the design do thermals make any sense at all ?. I don't see that they do. As above the thing here is the really small copper area used. Direct connect is a far better option IMHO. Personally I typically favor max copper in any design. One other thought on this. Within Allegro the default for thermal relief is Orthogonal. It could very well be that the designer may not even been aware of the direct connect option. It looks like someone just poured a dynamic plane and the thermals appeared to tie the nets in to the small plane. :) Kind of like pressing the go button, hey it looks good to me lol. Looking forward to your feedback. Best regards.
