Bug Description

It would be useful to have a possibility to create thermal vias. They greatly improves soldering short pieces of wire acting as a via when metalisation is not accesible (especially on homemade PCBs).

What blocks you to doing this today? Just put in a 'standard' via,
I don't see any problem in that.

I agree - it would be useful to have the option to have thermal reliefs with vias when creating a fill.
This would greatly aid soldering with home etched boards (where you have to solder wires/rivets for vias)
