i like to stitch power lines transitioning the PCB sides with multiple vias , but Kicad keepe removing the tracks as redundant ( cause they are duplicates of the other side track interconnecting the vias
can teh removing redundant traces be disabled on a track by track basis
untick Interactive Routeing Settings->Remove Loops. Is this what you are looking for?
The OP was asking on a per track basis. The option remove loops is global
Just change router settings to not eliminate redundant tracks while you layout such tracks. There is no per-track-setting because it doesn’t make much sense. Which of the two redundant tracks would get the setting and how would you set the setting when you can’t lay down both tracks in the first place?
Of course in most cases (unless things are very tight) you don’t need actual tracks and can just place multiple vias in the copper zone.
Here was some discussion with developers about via stiching: Router should not remove track segments, connecting two vias (#9224) · Issues · KiCad / KiCad Source Code / kicad · GitLab
The issue is not during routing , it when I run the cleanup tracks tool , it removes the track segments ( not the via) even when I lock the track segments.
Can you create a bug report and attach the design that shows the issue?

Will do , but I’m doing two of these a week now !!
Accurate and repeatable bug reports are essential for the developers
