Four Layer PCB Design problem with connection between layers in Kicad 8.0

Is the global label VCC the same net as the power symbol VCC? Don’t mix the two.

Power symbols act very much like global labels, but I agree that it is a bit “messy” in the schematic to mix them. You can check wheter KiCad recognises the connection between those two with the highlighting function (Backtick key, between [Esc] and [Tab] on keyboards with US layout).

@paulvdh and @RRPollack you are correct. I did define the copper zones at the beginning. However, I updated the scheme and the net list, and it seems that every time I do that I have to redefine the copper zones. Anyways, I redefined them and it is working fine now. I will check all the other recommendations you did. I have spent several hours designing this PCB but I still have to learn a lot of fine details.

Thanks all for your help,

Hi @retiredfeline, I am not sure what you mean by bus. Could you give me more details please?
