Hello all, I am using the demo version of PCB editor v16.3 and I am a new user of this software (I am a student working on a school project). What I am trying to do is to have 2 conductor shapes on the top and bottom layers connected through a via. I do not wish to have any pads, I simply want a hole to be drilled and plated so that the 2 top and bottom conductors are electrically connected. For this purpose, I defined a via padstack with pads smaller than the hole diameter. Now when I insert the via in the layout, I get the following result
where the top conductor shape (green) has been correctly carved out in a circle with diameter corresponding to the via hole.
Now my question is, why is the bottom conductor shape (yellow) not carved out in the same way? I did define my via as a Through type. Does it mean that my via is not correctly defined? What should I do to ensure that I really do have a through via there?
Thank you,
Simon
