Allegro PCB - How to insert vias in shape ?

[tangopcb]

Hi,
For my first design with Allegro 16.5, I need your help for a simple action.
I placed a shape (GND) and now I need to insert vias in the right position.
I try to copy a via but impossible to add in the shape after the copy action, and I can see something very simple like "Add via".
