My thermals in Eagle are sometimes to conductive. (I'd like them thinner or longer.) I've been f-ing around with various parameters (mostly in the DRC) but can't seem to change them.
Any ideas? TIA George H.

I think you just change the width of the polygon

OK thanks Lasse, that "fixed" some of the wider ones.

Why do you want less conductive thermals?
We don't use thermals; we select "pave over."

Look under DRC Supply tab. There is some sort of thermal setting you can use. Never used it.

Thanks John, I screwed around with those settings, but as far as I could tell nothing changed. Reading in Eagle it seems I have to define a whole supply layer to have these do anything... "With nothing else on that layer".. I can't do that.

So when I screw up I can un-solder the bit's without having to bring out the big guns... lotsa times my ground is on the bottom, and I just can't get enough heat down the lead from the top side to melt things.

Isolate, is the item you want. eg; Change Isolate.
and the wire width does affect it too.
