I ran into exactly the same problem, but it only seemed to be manifest if the pad was on the copper side. I found no work-around than to move the via slightly off-center and then connect it to the pad.

But somehow those pads are always listed as unconnected although there is a via on the pad and then connected to where it needs to be connected. Now it is towards the end of layout and I have difficulty using the DRC to check the unconnected, because there is always this hundreds of pads that has via on it listed as unconnected. Any fixes, suggestions, work-around are appreciated. Regards, Wei ------------------------------------ Please read the Kicad FAQ in the group files section before posting your question.
