Connecting pads to a filled zone without nets

Hello, spent a while trying to find if this is possible but it seems I am the only one with this problem.

I have created a circuit in pcbnew without any nets, I want to connect up some ground pads to the filled zone but this isn’t possible without a net I believe. Is there a solution to this in kicad?

Why do you not want these pads not to be on a ground net? If nothing else it will cause problems with the pcb makers electrical test

You can put the guts for a net into the kicad_pcb file by hand with a text editor and try to run with it.
But you’ll definitely need a project where you follow/observe the normal way of workflow there to have an example/copy to look at what you’re doing.

Personally I added tracks to projects that had nets in there as I needed round tracks or special stuff that I created via python scripts that needed to connect to nets and was successful, but I’ve never done what you want.
Good luck.
