This is a via error?

Question

I manually added a via on a route and I see a X on this via. Also, I have NO ERRORS after checking with DRC.

This is a print screen, hope to help you to understand my doubts.

Something's wrong with this design?

Thank you,

Dan

It's an airwire. The net requires a though-board connection that hasn't

been routed. This is probably because manually adding vias is the wrong

method, and it's also possible the via is a different net (although that

ought to give a DRC overlap error). It looks to me as if the via isn't

exactly centred on that cross, so it could be just that one of your

traces (probably the diagonal one) stops short of the via and isn't

"connected" (even though there's clearly enough overlap to make the

electrical connection).
