You can place a fill on an otherwise unused inner copper layer and assign a net to it, I think this will stop the autorouter from placing vias there. Such a fill could be made part of your footprints, though the net assignment -- I don't know if that is necessary -- would not be automatic. I have not tested this. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 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] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
