I placed several vias in a template area for stitching, but now I would like to delete a few of them to make room for a component. However, when I select the via and hit the 'Delete' key, then ALL the stitching vias in that net are removed! How can I just delete single vias?
Here is a picture showing the single via selected:
I can't really recreate this issue now, strangely enough. Maybe I unwittingly changed the setting that was causing it.
Perhaps it was related to some track/via optimization stuff that goes on. There is some other via auto-deletion behavior that I haven't mastered yet, which may be related to via "protection"...
See:
Options > Edit Track > End On Via - Adds Protected Via Properties - Via > Allow Automatic Changes > Delete if not Routed
