As a Kicad user and supporter I took it as a point of honor to figure this out, even though I have not nor intent to use a micro-via in my work.
A micro via or micro-via or microvia (I've seen it all ways) is a very small (LDO) (.1mm/.004inch typical) connection is a multilayer board. A hole is cut using a laser or (other very controllable process) between an outer layer and the layer directly below it. The prepreg board thickness needs to be of the order of the micro-via diameter so the technique is limited to multilayer boards.
With this limitation enabling micro-vias in Kicad takes two steps. From the menu click:
Design Rules | Layer Setup: increase Copper Layers to greater then 2.
Once you do these steps when drawing a trace you can press V to place a via, and CTRT-V to place a micro-via.
(This took me a while as I am breaking in a new computer and had to download Kicad into this machine. Sorry for the delay but I kept your post up till I got this.)
Thank you for taking the time to find these out for me, it looks like I am poking on something I have no idea of. (I am justing assuming micro via is just a via but smaller, and I can use it just like a normal via)
I was doing it on a simply 2 layers board and of course it doesn't work.
KiCad is great btw, after trying Eagle, Design Spark and Altium (this is great too but too expensive).
