Top trace deletes when bottom trace applied in PCBNEW

When I run a top trace from one component to another and try to run a bottom trace along the same route, the top trace is deleted. How can I get both traces to stay?

Thank you much. I knew it had to something simple like that.:grin:

Be careful though. If you ever run cleanup tracks you are at the same place again.

If you need a track on both sides to increase the current capacity it might be better to use zones on top and bottom. (Zones have the added benefit that they fill the available space an therefor increase the current capacity further.)

I have used this ā€œfeatureā€ in this project.
