[PCB_FORUM] Re: Allegro Sub drawing / Via stitch problem

No, I just routed a trace (inside the shape) from a pin to the vias to force it...Then just export / import to 0,0.

Anyone know how to search for these "floating" vias? Danging via does not work. Would like to locate any instances  I may have missed.

Thanks,
Mark

Hello Mark,

Normaly this happens becouse when the vias do not have a net association they inherit the net name of the first shape they find,B Have you tried to disable the dynamic shapes on the board first , then import your subdrawing, then enable the dynamic shapes and force your imported shape to update first

good luck

Not quite that easy Jean,
Actually stitching to many different power supplies on 8 different layers.
Just want to keep the import the same as the export.
Importing clip all at once by 0,0 origin.

IF< /u> all of your stitching vias are to GND, then you can move all of your non-GND positive planes off-board before reading in the clip. Then the unconnected vias will get associated with GND, and then you can move the other planes back on the board.

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Allegro Sub drawing / Via stitch problem

 

Hello all,

When Exporting a Sub-Drawing I found that any vias in a shape used for

stitching...connected to a shape, but has no traces to a pin...looses

connectivity and sometimes connect to a different plane after import

sub-drawing.

The only way I have found to fix it is to ALSO route a t race from a pin

to the via to force the connection.

 

Is there a way to locate any occurrences of this prior to exporting a

Sub-Drawing?

 

Thought maybe dangling wire reporting as dangling via...but a Dangling

via is defined a a via with only one connection from a pin. These vias

simply dropped in a shape for thermal reasons do not get flagged.

 

Any thoughts as to how to find them in a design?

 

Thanks,

Mark
