Guys,
I've got a problem I hope someone can help me out with. I have some
very high current traces on my PCB (15A and 30A). I'm using 2oz copper
but in order to get track widths that aren't completely ridiculous I
need to double up the tracks on two layers. I'm new at Eagle (last used
OrCAD PCB editor which is a stripped down version of Allegro) and I
can't seem to make this happen. When I route the initial track on the
first layer naturally the ratsnest for this route disappears (since it
is now connected). Eagle won't allow me to start a track on the second
layer because there is no longer an active ratsnest. How do I get
around this?
This is also a generic issue. If I want to start routing on a pin that
the ratsnest currently isn't touching (but it is unrouted, the ratsnest
is just terminated on a different unrouted pin) Eagle won't let me.
This is different from Allegro where I could start routing on any pin
and if it was unrouted the ratsnest would immediately snap to that pin.
This is somewhat annoying since it is forcing me to route nets in the
order that Eagle decides to snap the ratsnest to instead of routing in
the order that is most logical to me. I'm sure there is a way around
this, but I've yet to find it.
Thanks,
Michael
