Select the layer you want the thermal to connect to (must be a polygon around hole), hit F10 to select the thermal tool and click the via or pin where you want the thermal.I don't use thermal around vias because I don't know how to do that in PCB. Also it seems there is no need for vias to have thermal, since vias are solder masked by PCB and I will be unable to put solder in the via holes any way. I will double check pads for thermals. Actually I have already found some places that my "fake thermals" made by short traces do not join to the ground polygan.
