I use the flowing steps to add a via, but some behavior I don't understand:
1. enable ``Crosshair snaps to pins and pads'' under ``Settings'' menu, and
set grid size to 0.01mm under ``View'' menu. also use unit ``mm''.
2. Add a via to PCB canvas,PCB show it's coordinate is 56.3100 72.8500 on
up right corner.
3. :MoveObject(55.0000, 72.0000, mm) to position the via, then CRTL+R pcb
show it's coordinate is 54.9839 72.0073.
4 :MoveObject(55.0000, 72.0000, mm) again, but CTRL+R show it's coordinate
is 55.0002 72.0108.
Step 3, 4 the same action, the same parameters, but the result is
different. I want to know how PCB work with position via?
I need this footprint : www.kosmodrom.com.ua/pdf/*HR911105A*.pdf. Any tool
may I use to make the footprint?
Thanks for your help!
With kind regards.

The key to using vias to make footprints is to make sure you have a<br>
suitable grid. =C2=A0You either have grid snap turned on, in which case you=
