Justification changes to "offset" while placing vias

RVERP

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?

    Hello RVERP,

    Pressing the <Ctrl> key enable a new feature which is to autoDropVias at the intersection with pathSegments or Pins on the same net.

    If you want to disable that feature please use the following skill command:

     envSetVal("layout" "weAutoDropViaForOverlaps" 'boolean nil) 

    We use the <Ctrl> key to disable the layer tap temporarily and be able to start with the layer specify in the 'Palette' and auto dropping the correct via.

    This behavior could not be changed, the only way to remove it is to disable the tapping in the RMB menu.

    Please let me know if it solves your problem.

    Thanks,

    Alex
