Error during autorouter preprocessing.

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello,

 

Just now I am making a quite large drawing in Ultiboard.

My drawing consists of 4 layers. Top, Bottom and 2 Inner. I use the Inner layers for Vcc and Gnd.

Now, I want the rest of the nets to be connected using Copper Top and Copper Bottom.

 

After placing all the components on my board, i tried to use the auto-router.

Making all the nets by hand is rediculous, as my schematic takes over 7 pages in Multisim.

 

Now my point is this. When i use the autorouter, i get a error message saying:

"Error during autorouter preprocessing.
Source: Autorouter
Invalid via definition - must be multiple layers and circular"

 

I use both through-hole components and SMT components.

 

I was only able to find one topic about this issue, but it got answered in portugese, and I can't read that language.

Unfortunately i can't give out nor upload the schematic as it is a product.

 

Hopefully someone can answer my question, since it's driving me nuts.

 

Thanks in advance,

Erik
