Hi,
See pictures. I have a pour for my 3.3V (but could be anything), and a component that has a pad for that net inside the pour.
When I update the pour, I can see the pour has kept a guard space around the pad, and the ratlines are still visible (as the pad is not automatically connected).
I'd expect the pour to automatically connect the pad, which is not the case. Is this "by design" and to be expected or am I missing something? It does work for the through hole (test point)....
Thanks!

Re: Pour not "connecting" to (SMD) pad
It seems there is built-in route keepout (within pattern) that prevents connecting the pad to the copper pour. If I am right, the rectangles around the capacitors should be on courtyard layer instead route keepout.
