Move Track

The Move Track command allows you to move a routed segment while pushing away obstacles. Vias can also be moved using this command. Launch this command by clicking Net /Route > Routing > Move Track on the ribbon in eCADSTAR PCB Editor.

 

Note
  • If you move a via using the Move Track command, then the segment that is connected to the via is also moved.
  • You can specify that stacked vias are moved as a single object.
  • If you select the vertex between two segments, then both segments are moved.
