Can't route a via from layer 1 to layers 15 or 16. In design rules - have tried (1*2+15*16), (1*2*15*16), 1*2+15*16, 1*2*15*16. Nothing works. Routing on layer 1, center mouse button on scroll wheel, then I get the message "can't set a via to layer 1" or "can't set a via to layer 15", and the corresponding messages for layer 16.
Hi bcarterW8DV4,
Thanks for participating on the forums, I hope all is well for you. The layers setup that would worked based on your examples would be:
(1*2*15*16)
(1*2+15*16)
I am not certain what license you are using, but to use 4 layers, you need to have at least the standard edition of EAGLE. Was this working before and now stopped working on this design?
Best Regards,
Ed
I don't know why, but it started working. We got the full license so I have unlimited layers, etc. 8.0 works, 8.1 crashes - HARD - so I haven't updated. Win 7.
Got it working, but I can't save the batch file to the taskbar. And it seems to have broken Eagle 8.0. Kind of a mess!
I pasted a screen shot. Something about the file being locked by user bcarter. I AM user bcarter! The screen capture doesn't show the little endless circle. I waited 15 minutes, that circle never went away so I could select an option at all. Not ignore, not delete lock. It really is bad - I can't work on my board at all now because 8.0.2 is broken, or the project is - and that batch file is missing so I can't get into 8.1.0.
On a desperate whim - I clicked on "ignore" - even while the rotating circle of death was active - and it accepted "ignore" - I then saved under a new name and am working with 8.0.2 again. I am counting my blessings and will continue with the old version until a solution is found for the disappearing batch file on 8.1.0.
