For me, if I switch layers while in the process of drawing a line, it pcb automatically add a via and continues drawing the line on the new layer. I think this is what you want? This sequence is the one to try: 1, F2, left_mouse, move_mouse, left_mouse, 2, move_mouse, left_mouse --047d7bfcfd7ad9976105245c2c0b Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

If layer is changed while routing inserting a via between these layers or t= hru all layers may be a good choice.
