I'm designing a PCB with Altium 14 composed by 4 SMT headers (2 on top, rest on bottom) but everytime I try to move them it puts the cursor on coordinates -4699.664,49086.331 (way, way far from my design) and I have no idea why is that happening, so I can't move the objects.
Do you know why this is happening or at least know another way to move the object?
An alternate way to save space is to use via-in-pad. If you aren't doing that already, it might save you enough space you won't need one of your two blind via types.
This was meant to be a flippant comment, since it technically answers the question, but doesn't really provide any new information. But the OP seems to think it's useful:
Q: Is there any way to route a signal from one side of the board to the other without at least one set of microvias?
A: Yes, use a through via.
1) Open the "SCH Library" panel:
2) Add a new part(s) to your libaray:
Now there are two different parts ("Part A" and "Part B") listed under your components name:
Each of them has a different design screen. Click on the one you want to design. Design the two parts separately.
3) Assign which pin belongs to which part:
Notice that the pins 4 and 8 belong to both parts and always active. Pins 1, 2 and 3 are only active when Part A is selected. Pins 5, 6 and 7 are active only when Part B is selected. The pins of the non-selected part are always grayed out.
If the some of the pins do not match to their corresponding parts, alter the settings in the "Component Pin Editor" dialog box.
Change the pin order to state which pin belongs to which part.
1: Part A
2: Part B
That's all. Now we have two separate parts in one component library.

Following @brhans comment I've realised that I didn't set the origin on my original footprints. After fixing that everything is fine now
