freeDFM & via issue

autodeskguest
autodeskguest over 17 years ago

I have a board I've submitted to freeDFM. Their error report for that board

is at:

.   https://www.freedfm.com/freedfm/0011385401921358/results/summary2.htm

The .brd file (only that file) I've made available at:

.   http://www.RGMEusa.com/Misc/USBto64RW.zip

 

I've already addressed all the issues not related to vias in another board

version, my only remaining problem is the one concerning freeDFM's complaint

about every one of the board vias.

 

If you look at the freeDFM error report it appears to my eye that all the

vias have no drill and they appear to all be filled in as if they were pads

instead of vias going through all 4 layers. I've also made available a

screen shot combination picture of the board concerning just one of the via

issues (the X=0.7641", Y=2.2966" example):

.   http://www.RGMEusa.com/Misc/SampleVia.jpg

 

It all seems ok to me so I haven't a clue as to why freeDFM is complaining.

In the combo screen shot I see it reports a drill for the example via as

0.015" and a diameter of "0.031/0.031 (auto)". I don't understand the

diameter syntax being used, meaning it looks to me like it is reporting 2

parameters separated by a "/" character. What is the definition of the 2

parameters which in the screen shot are identical to each other? If one

parameter is mathematically divided by the other the result is a zero value;

is THAT the reason freeDFM is complaining?

 

I need help understanding the nature of the problem and how to fix it. I did

generate the Execellon file while the board was displayed in the editor,

that's what was sent to freeDFM. TIA!

-Ron

    PS: I'm affray, you don't use any condensators on this card !!!

    I think you must minimum add decouplers condensators to be sure work ok !!!
