Justification changes to "offset" while placing vias

RVERP
RVERP over 9 years ago

If a place a via while routing wires, and I change the via justification (Ctrl-mousewheel), the justification changes to "offset" the moment I drop the via. The via is not on the same location as the initial preview.


This emerged after updating to version IC6.1.7-64b.500.4.

Is there a setting to control the behavior?

    Ctrl-middle mouse button (which is what you're doing) in the default bind keys causes the create wire command to "change wire direction after via" (this has the effect of rotating the via, not altering the justification). At least it's like this in IC617 ISR6; I wasn't able to check in ISR4. In ISR6, this seems to behave as I was expecting, but then it's not changing the justification anyway...

    So what's your Ctrl<Btn2Down> bindkey defined to be?

    Maybe some pictures would help?

    Regards,

    Andrew.
