VIAs why do I get square?

[christopher2KLSVU]

After placing via on my board I get square, like in the picture. Why do I get it? Does it mean any error?

How to get rid of it? I do not need this.

It makes board more unclear.

When you open the bet router, about half way down, you get the option for the shape. See attached picture.

I hope this helps.

What is the purpose of this viewfinder?

Hi @christopher2KLSVU 

sorry for the delayed reply.. 

The rectanguar shape is a drill symbol. Each diameter in the board has its own symbol. This can be used for a print out in case you drilled the board manually. The drill symbols help in recognising different diameters. 

If you switch off the layers Drills / Holes they will not be visible.
