Hello,

 

Could you attach your design files for troubleshooting?

Fernando,

I'm not sure what you mean by design files. I am attaching the ms9 capture file. I transfer that to ultiboard, change to a 2.8 inch round board and auto place and autoroute. It gets 100% but runs way out of the round boundary.

Hello,

 

I was referring to the Ultiboard files (*.ewnet and *.ewprj). Please attach those files, it will be easier to troubleshoot the issue.

looks like only one file went. I'll try again. It won't let the extension go. I'm going to try to change the extennsion to .zip but of course you will have to change it back to .ewnet .   Well it wouldn't let me do that either. You have the ms9 file so you can generated the net.

Thanks for the files Bob. I was able to reproduce the issue in version 9. After doing some research I found out that this was a known issue (ID: 266543) that was fixed in version 10.0.1. It seems that Ultiroute had a hard time routing circular boards. Unfortunately there is no patch v.9, you will need to manually fix the traces that are outside of the board outline.   

 

Just to verify I opened your file in Ultiboard 13, deleted all the copper and ran the Autorouter. Here is the result:

Sorry for the inconvenience Bob.
