CS problems

Question

Hi

I'm new user of CS and have the following problems:

1. On PCB layout, when i draw a track, i want a hot key to change layer and to place automatically a VIA. Within CS i couldn't find a such key (or shortcut).

2. If i press accidentally the "Windows Start" key (which lies exactly next to the CTRL key which is used very often) the CS gets stuck in truck drawing. The only way to escape, is a forced termination of CS from Windows, and everything that has designed so far will be lost.

3. I have troubles with copper pour (polygon pour). I try to apply a GND plane on bottom layer, but except the GND net and all other bottom tracks are merged within the copper pour area.

Thanks for any help.

To answer your first question: Here you cann find some interactive routing shortcuts: http://documentation.circuitstudio.com/display/CSTU/PCB_Cmd-Routing_Composite((Interactive+Routing))_CS If you press 2 you get a via in the current route. Pressing L switches the Layer.
