Manually routing from top   to bottom.

autodeskguest

Hi,

 

Occasionally I find myself with a red wire on the top, a blue wire on the

bottom and a yellow 'unrouted' line between the two.

 

How do I manually route between the two?

 

If I select the normal 'route' tool, click on one end, and then click on

the other end I get a trace appearing between the two ends (as expected)

but instead of getting a via appearing I get a yellow 'X'(which i think

means I'm missing a 'via') I can manually place a via on the yellow 'X' but

it doesn't seem to actually connect - I can still pick up each end of my

track and move it interdependently, and I still have the yellow 'unrouted'

line between the two.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks

    It's a matter of starting at the right place.

     

    Enable the route tool. Decide where you want the via and click on that

    wire. Then middle-click to swap layers before you connect to the other end.

     

    So, for instance, if you decide that the existing blue track ends where

    the via should be (perhaps there's a blue trace running across the

    yellow) then click on the blue end of the yellow. The tool will pick up

    a blue route (bottom layer). Middle click will change that to red (top

    layer). Now when you click on the other end of the airwire (yellow) the

    route will be established on the top layer (red) and the via will be

    automatically added.
