Generating fat traces

Folks,

I am attaching a section of a recommended layout for TPS65131 split rail converter. The relevant
doc is here: https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tps65131-q1.pdf

I have a question about generating the kind of a trace that an arrow is pointing to, is it possible to
achieve that in Kicad 8? Thanks!

Just draw a zone where you want it.

And set the zone connection type to “solid”.

If this is a new project you might want to consider going up to V9 first.

You could do one zone, or you could do multiple overlapping zones with the same net connection. I have done both.

Thanks, switching to v9.

Thanks, an obvious solution that I missed. Zones should work in this case.
