Disable VIAs through PADs

autodeskguest

Hello!

Is there some way to disable in autorouter making vias on the "through pcb"

elements? I want to make 2-layer board, but some elements will be hard to

solder on both sides when there's no hole metalization... I want all the via

to be on a "free" part of the board.

TIA

 

Best regards

    No. I presume that you drill the holes yourself?

    You can either set the AR to route one side only by setting the other

    side to N/A and route the remaining connections yourself.

    Or you take an already routed connection using the SPLIT command and

    move the "new generated corner" away from under the part to a "free" area.

    The CHANGE LAYER commands allways works between corners. If you use it

    between the pad and the "new corner" you can change to the desired layer

    and eagle puts a via at the "new corner". Of course you must take care

    for the rest of that wire. This way you can move vias using device pins.

  • Not sure if I understand your dilemna but, I think you will get a pad on

    both top and bottom layer of your parts no matter what. If you only want

    to solder to one side, you should just route on that side only and then

    I think you can vRestrict the routed part of the board, forcing the

    router to place vias where you can control them. Then rerun the router

    for both sides and I think it will place and connect the vias.
