Problem with VIA and Zones

[Rene_Poschl]

The term you are looking for is via stitching.
Sadly the current version of KiCad has no direct support for it.
But there is a well documented workaround using single pad footprints.

Protip: nicer via stitching

It’s generally “known” that pcbnew doesn’t really support via stitching. You have to link together a bunch of vias using traces, so that they keep their net association. And this is clunky.
