vias in pads?

autodeskguest

Does EAGLE support vias in component pads?  These are extremely useful in

minimizing trace lengths in high-frequency designs.  They are also helpful

in tight layouts.  With the advent of filled (Peters) vias in the last

couple of years the concern over solder loss from the component pad into the

via has been eliminated.  I've been unable to place a via in a component pad

and have EAGLE recognize the connection.  Thanks.  Steve

    Yes

    Did you assign the name of the net to which the via should be connected

    to the via? If not -- how should Eagle know that ist should connect them?

     

    Did you try the alternative method: Route a piece of the track away from

    the pad, change layers (produces a via), route another piece of the

    track, and then move the via into the pad? Why not? Too simple?
