Something like this might work. You may have to create your own power symbol to embellish this strategy (in addition to using the power flag mentioned below): 1. Go back to the schematic and add a "test point" type symbol, and tie it to a "power flag". Search the manual for "power flag" if this is an unknown term. Name the test point "bogus_for_zone" or similar. 2. Make that net unique and not tied to anything else. It is a bogus net. 3. Assign the test point symbol to a 1Pin footprint using CVPCB. 4. In pcbnew, import the new netlist. 5. Position the 1PIN footprint within your zone perimeter, even though your perimeter does not yet exist. 6. Edit the 1PIN, modify module/footprint and remove the hole from the 1PIN by setting diamater to zero, and make it is a single sided 1PIN and get rid of the solder mask exposure by messing with the radio buttons on the right of that module editing dialog. 7. Then establish the zone perimeter and associate it with the bogus net in the zone edges dialog box. 8. Fill the zone. Hope this helps, Dick
