Agilent ADS layout - how to properly insert a via hole

[randy_sl]

Hi all,

I have a PCB designed in Altium Designber 9. I want to simulate in ADS.

I manage to export the top and bottom layers to ADS and configured the substrate.

I want to add via holes between the top and bottom layers.
I saw the VIA holes in the toolbar.
When I add it, the top and bottom pads are visible in the 3D View,
the plated interconnection (cylindrical part which connects the top and bottom layers).

I'm not sure whether there is a connection between two layers.

Could anyone tell me how to add the via holes properly?

cheers,
Randy

I want to simulate a multilayer PCB in ADS too. Could anyone please suggest some tutorials on ADS signal integrity? I have reviewed the PCIe example but got nothing!
