Thanks for the useful replies :)
 
Once I had deleted the etch, deleted the via, and replaced all in their new
location, I couldn't duplicate the message I was getting and the vias are
acting normally.
 
Who knows?  Must have been the alignment of the moons of Jupiter or
something :)

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Deleting Vias


 
Well, I have been on 15 for about 2 weeks now.  I am not impressed.
 
The latest problem: What hidden switch do I have to throw to allow me to
delete a via on one layer when it's connected on another without turning
that (or those) other layer(s) on?  I KNOW it's connected, let me delete the
durn thing if I want without having to turn 20 layers on to do it...
I do wish they would redesign the tool for designers instead of worrying so
much about the occasional users who need to be protected from themselves.
The amount of time I have to waste trying to circumvent "features" that are
preventing me from doing my job quickly and efficiently doubles with each
point release :)
