Hi Guys, I have a copper pour that I would like to fill the area of a rectangular pad over the three via's all the way to the pour surrounding it? I am doing this to increase copper to a transistor for cooling. Anyone have any idea how I can achieve this?
Thanks for the help!

Add connections from the pad to vias. Assign the same net to the copper pour in copper pour properties. Then update the copper pour.

Please connect small copper pour to the same net as the pad and three vias (right click on copper pour outline, select "properties", go to connectivity tab and select net name there.
I see also few DRC markers. If they remain after connecting the copper pour to correct net, please let me know.
