hello, for the first time i've attempted to lock down some pre-laid traces and then have the autorouter finish the job. i believe that i've followed the directions on p.576-577 of the protel99 design book by clicking one of the laid traces, locking it, and then extending that to all the traces using global. i then did the same with the vias.
my problem is that autoroute is now locked into a loop flashing back and forth between vias and contentions and shape router/hot spots, and its not routing any more traces. this is a fairly wide open board, so i'm not sure why its hung up. i wouldn't be surprised if i have wrongly locked the pre-laid traces/vias. thank you, miker * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
