I'm trying to place a hole onto my circuit board design, but the Place->Hole command is unresponsive.
According to the Ultiboard help manual, a hole should appear over the cursor after pressing "OK" in the Through Hole Pin Properties dialog box. This does not happen. Nothing appears beside the "undo" command after I follow the steps to place a hole (ie. it does not say "Undo Place Hole" or anything similar). Essentially, nothing happens when I try to place a hole.
Does anyone know the cause of this?

Hi Alan,
I haven't seen this before. It this a problem with just this file, or are you unable to place a hole in a blank file?

Thanks for your reply,
The problem is not just with one file, I am unable place a hole in a blank file.
I should also note that when I press "Apply" in the Through Hole Pin Properties dialog box, the Clearances view turns on, but it is switched off after I press "OK". (This is possibly unrelated to the original problem).

Wow! It worked! I deleted the configuration file (standard_ub_uni.ewcfg) and restarted ultiboard and now the hole placement works! Thanks a lot,

Sorry to rehash an old post, but the same problem happened again, but this time I saved the configuration file 🙂
Here it is (attached):
