  • Hello Richard,

     

    I have a basic question regarding routing multi layer boards. This is my first 4 layer board and I have set up layers 2 and 15 as the inner layers. One is $VCC and the other is $GND. I have outlined the plane fill area on both innner layers. My question is this: When I am manually routing a trace and I want to connect to an inner layer I can't figure out how to do it and I can't find it described anywhere in the documentation. I have tried routing the signal to an open area on the board and then selecting the desired layer, such as $GND, and when I click it just ends the trace without a via on leaves the airwire connected to that spot. I know I'm missing something basic here. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi Steve,

     

    when you are ROUTEing the signal and you want to set a via at the end of the trace use Shift + left mouse button. EAGLE automatically places a via then.

    Richard,  This is my first post on to your site.    ?;  where do I find the ? window other than what I just did by clicking on 'reply' in one of your

    current postings?    

    Anyway, I needed a test posting to see how my post is viewed in the general public window. 

    Is CadSoft still physically located in Florida?   I had not heard from CS activities for a long while until I received the new brochure from E14.

    Thanks for being here.
