[PCB_FORUM] Re: Adding a via to a .dra file...

Hi,

I believe I got it.  I need to basically route from the ePad (pin) and drop
a via with a cline attached.  Then, I can move the via to where I want in
the ePad, delete the cline, and it seems to be what I want.  I can now copy
the via ad-infinitum and those copies are fine also.

I'm a bit surprised this is that complex, perhaps it's not and can be done
differently...but at least I now know how to "do" it.

Thanks,

Austin
