For the thermal tool to work, the CURRENT layer needs to be the layer
you want to add the thermal to.
If your current layer is component, it won't add a thermal to gnd
even if that's the only layer with a polygon on it.

Based on your other report, you also want to know this: shift-clicking
the thermal tool changes the thermal type. One type is no thermal -
solid, which is good for vias.

I disagree - there is a separate thermal for each layer, and each

It is a digital property, that can be turned on and off (per layer).
This is conceptually very different from a line width.

It is a digital property, that can be turned on and off (per layer).

It's not on/off. It's one of six different thermal types[*]. And we
already have SetThermal(). And SetFlag() et al don't have a way to
specify the layer.
