I'm using pcb version 4.2.2 to design a 4-layer board which uses only through-hole components.

I create the Ground and Power layers then manually place one thermal to connect the Ground layer to a ground pin, and one to connect the Power layer to a power pin.

If I then run the standard autorouter at completion there are thermals connecting all the appropriate pins to the Ground and Power layers.

But if I run the toporouter it shows no route failures but neither are there any thermals for ground and power pins other than the two I placed manually.

Am I missing something or is the deal that if I use the toporouter then I need to place the thermals manually?

Thanks
