I'm using Protel 99SE SP6. I have components on the top and bottom of my
board. In one area of the bottom I would like the autorouter to be allowed
to place both vias and traces as needed. In another area of the bottom,
however, I would like it to be able to place vias, as needed for routing

That sounds like a fairly complex router instruction. I'm thinking the only
way to 'trick' the router into performing the way you want may be to hatch
the area where you don't want traces with a pattern that would allow vias to
be placed in some grid fashion but if the router wanted to place a

Now I understand a little better. You could this. I use this trick to
keep traces out of certain areas. Place a matrix of 1 mil lines on the
bottom and make them KEEP OUT lines. Make the squares in the matrix
large enough so the router can pop vias in. The matrix will prevent

I use matrix and fills all of the time for controlling vias and
traces.but not on any Protel router of course. Did I say PROTEL
router.. there is no such thing. Im sorry for the wrong use of words.

Personally, I never use a router. It's faster, but not very elegant. I've found that
spending much time on component placement eases routing tremendously. I would
estimate that 60-80% of my routes are less than 200 mils long and have no corners.

Ray,
try to draw a closed track on the bottom layer surrounding the area you
don't want routes, and give the track the attribute keepout. With this,
no route on bottom layer may cross this area. It may happen, that the
router places short traces which stay only within this area. Anyway, you
can
Hi Terry,
I saw this happen in 2004, also. I fixed it the same way as everyone
else seems to be doing, by shutting down 2004 and restarting it. The
problem vanishes. SOMETHING is going on and I think it is not we
peasant users. Protel folks--please take note.

Hello All
I had to rework some files in 99SE that I started in 2004. (I wont get into
why I had to port these files back to 99SE , because the thread will tie up
internet traffic for a week)After completion , I ran my DRC's as usual
but the unrouted net constraint reported as disabled. I

Don't ask me! What I wrote was based on reports that Situs had improved
cleanup. As I stated explicitly, I haven't yet experimented with Situs.
It is sad
Mike,
Thanks for sharing with us. I really do appreciate YOU having the experience
for me.
