Creating via causes X over the via

weswitt

I must be doing something obviously wrong, but all vias that I create have big X through them. Can't seem to figure out what to do to create a correct via. Any help would be great.

    the cross stands for a vertical air wire.

     

    I assume you're routing a net and now have traces in different layers

    with overlapping ends.

    And it seems, you are trying to create the vias manually.

     

    In this case you need to enter the net name one command line (either

    after activating the via command by clicking, or directly by entering

    "via 'netname " on the command line.

     

    But:

     

    vias are created automatically during routing by changing the layer,

    either by selecting one from the drop down menu in the tool bar, or by

    clicking the middle mouse button.

     

    And: don't use the wire command to draw your traces. Use the net

    command.
