I recently did a job where I had an area of copper and used the copy command to copy a via to create a small area with multiple vias to the plane below. Very neat and useful feature. A lot easier then the "free vias" in Layout.
I'm working a new board and am attempting to do the same thing, but when I go to place the via I just copied, I can't place it anywhere but on top of the via I am copying. Example, I have a via in a small copper area on the top layer. I want to add three more vias to connect this small area to a larger inner layer trace. When I select copy and the via I want to copy (retain net on), the via attaches to my cursor and I can move it around, but when I go to place it, it jumps back to the original via and places the new one on top of the original one.
I'm doing exactly what I had done (famous last words....) on the previous board which worked like a charm.
Thoughts?
