Hello,
I’m trying to create a closed loop of track, but the last segment gets always deleted? What I’m doing wrong?
I’ve aleady disabled “Remove redundant tracks” in interactive router settings.
Kicad Version is 8.0.4
Welcome @jackricht
Interactive Router Settings > General options > “Untick” Remove Redundant Tracks.
Interactive Router Settings can be accessed with hotkey combination: Ctrl + <
Hi jmk,
thanks for your answer! I’ve already tried that, but this only prevents the entire track being removed. The last segment gets deleted even when the box is unticked.
I am also seeing unexpected behavior, even when Remove redundant tracks is off.
Below, I first draw a track segment from left to right (it does not hold) and then draw one from right to left (another segment gets deleted).
This also happens in the Walkaround Mode.

Thats very weird, I tried it on my on Linux Mint install, but still get the Problem. Did you change anything else in the setting?
As you can view in my above post, I made the settings identical to yours.
I couldn’t find any other settings that may cause problems.
Works on windows - seems to be an issue only for some?

Edit: I tested it a bit more. It works sometimes and sometimes it doesn’t work. Weird.
Works every time for me. Agree, weird.
Yes, for me too. Results are not consistent.
Hi,
I can t create a closed track first. But I can cross the same track and afterwards delete the stump.
When I have done this once I can create any loop !???
It doesn t feel very logical and I am not sure I found a general rule.
