Imported EAGLE brd file thermals not working

I have imported an EAGLE .brd file into Fusion.

 

In general it worked pretty well except that polygon pour for the ground plane is not drawing thermal spokes. It's not working on either through-hole or SMD pads.

 

I have tried re-drawing the polygon pour. I have tried creating a new net class. Ticking / un-ticking thermals doesn't change anything.

 

Any ideas?

Hi @duncanBC5DV 

I hope you are doing well!

I do some basic tesing and it works for me.

So I guess it may be related to some settings or your specified file.

Would you mind sending me your file to double check?

I will send my email address to you as a private message.

Regards,

Panpan Fan

Thank you @panpan_fan for investigating and finding the cause.

For anyone who may face a similar problem, it is caused by the exported file from Diptrace having "thermals=no" for every pad/pin in the XML of the board file. Changing this to "thermals=yes" fixed the issue.
