Unable to select a hole in a PCB

Hello,

I have an issue on several projects, for all of them I could not select, edit or move the mounting holes I've made in the PCB.

I used the Hole function at the beginning of my projects several months ago, and today it seems they are permanent. I tried to select them with a box, bu clicking on the edge or around the center.

I can select the outside edge of my boards, the issue is only with the holes. In the selection filter Hole is enabled.

I found a way to select them through the design manager with a filter over hole object, but it could be more useful to select them like any other component in the workspace.

Hi @m4vrick99,

You've covered most of the usual subjects. The other thing I would say is to make sure you have your drills and holes layers active. If the selection filter has them enabled and these holes were not made inside a footprint then they should be selectable on the 2D PCB.

Best Regards,

Thanks for your reply.

When selecting a hole through the design manager panel there is no layer associated to them. I really dont know what's happened.

I remember there is something about changing the number of layer in a previous new version, maybe it's related to this.

Anyway I have a workaround and I'll see how it works with the next new projects.
