    internal plane problem in altium

    you cannot leave it as a no net and define a split layer. Create a false net in schmatics ( only a wire ) bring the net in the pcb. then use that net in the new split layer and then save it and it will not combine it. The only reason they are joining is because u r not defining a net for a...

    Need help in Altium Designer

    Hi, Go in schematics, and Tools/parameter manager. This is handy when creating or modifying the bom. but be careful as it may screw up your bom completely so take a backup before doing anything.

    Altium Designer 14 Gerber Files Question

    Hi Roy, Altium designer does not export gerber with .c1 and .c2. It exports gerber files as .GTL, .GTS, .GBL, .GP1 and so on unless you have changed your export setting. if you list all names then I can give another go. Do you not have any other software which you can load and check your self...

    different thickness in same PCB

    Define your board in "Layer Stack region" option 1 using define split lines. Once you have your layer stack regions created you can then go to normal pcb ( 2 ). In design/layer stack manager you will then have these different stack regions appeared. You can add/remove layers/prepregs as you like...

    internal plane problem in altium

    The idea of plane is you have only one net in that layer. The idea of split plane is you can split that plane into few different net planes. when you create a split plane you must define the net of new created plane. on your screen shot it says it has no net. Try using any other net and then see...

    Placing layer information and PCB dimensions in gerber files using altium designer

    Create a layer called drill drawing. In this layer add an out line for your board. To add dimn : place/dimension/linear : and then select points and keep adding more. you can select more options other than linear. To add layer stack : place/ layer stack table/ and place it on layer. please...

    Altium - Hierarchical project & buses

    Hi Hossein, can you please advise how you do you pcb without schematics. I also tried doing it but I was advised it is ok for small and simple boards but it is not trustworthy when the board is bigger and complex. can you please let me know how u enter all components and then add netlist to...

    PCB design with very high amp current ( 60 AMP )

    Hi Mattylan and marce, thanks for looking into my query. This board is a backplane and is using 19" rack concept with DIN41612 connector concept, it will have 21 off 6U Double Euro card slot insertion into it once in action from both sides. the size of the pcb is 427 X 261 MM. The current for...

    PCB design with very high amp current ( 60 AMP )

    Hi Berry, thanks for your quick response. I do use these calculators for my current ratings but I only used upto 4 to 8 Amps max. This is new design challange for me. Since I require 60 amps this is exteremly high current I have bit concern about the heat that will get generated and if I dont...

    PCB design with very high amp current ( 60 AMP )

    Hi, I am wondering if any one of you have come across very high current carrying power plane in the design. I have a design where the power planes ( 3V3 ) and 5V are going to draw about 60 AMP current. I am using these as power plane with full copper but I believe this will not be enough and the...

    [SOLVED] Altium NC Drill, as per layer

    Hi Nick, Altium does generate separate drill files for each blind and buried level of drilling but only one report file. It should have created the blind and buried drill files under extension .tx1 and .tx2 and so on.. are you sure you are looking for the extension and not only txt. If not then...

    [SOLVED] Multi Layer PCB Design

    Hi, For for layer multilayer,, if you want to use two internal plane layers then those plane can be only used for one net each only, so for ground you use Internal plane 2 and power layer ( VCC) you use internal plane 2. Once you assign these nets on layer stack manager all those through holes...
