Click on your new rule "PolygonConnect_1" in the top full query box you want to put "isvia". Design -> Rules then add a new Polygon Connect Style rule by right clicking and selecting new rule. To change the connect style you need to create a new rule. Using this over and over you can get quite a large area covered pretty quickly. If you then use the third via in the row as your place point you then have two extra vias at the correct spacing. So if you had a row of three vias shift click the last two in the row and use the first for your pick point. When you copy it gives you a pick point, you can use this pick point to choose your grid for the vias. But you can place lot's of via's pretty quickly by copying and paste. I don't think there's a way to place via's automatically. Is this done correctly or is there a better way to do what I pretend to do? What I try to do is to end a line at the edge of the board with a via, but having the via in the edge so that only half of it remains on the actual board.Īs you can see the last via is half way out, and therefore I will be able to put this board over another board and solder this edge to a pad. can I change it so that the vias are connected to the metal completelly?įinally I am trying to bring the signal lines to the edge of the board so that I can put this board on a larger board and connect both through these "plated edge vias". The second question is, the vias I am placing have a cross shape as you can see in the image attached. is it possible to do that or do I have to place the vias one by one?
Now I wonder how I can place in an automatic way evenly distributed vias to connect the top ground plane with the bottom ground plane.
I have also covered the top layer empty areas with a ground plane, placing a polygon plane as it is done in this video:Īltium Designer Tutorial: Copper planes and pours - YouTube The board is a two layer board where the bottom layer is ground and the top layer the signal layer. This is my first time using this software and there are a few things I don't know how to do or if they can be done or not. I am working in a small RF board on Altium Designer. Although I have checked the forum a few times I have never posted, but now I have a few issues that I hope you can help me with.
