autoplacer

I have four questions about Altium designer 6.6

Q1)i have proben with Auto route

When i droaw a schematic and compile it successfully without any errors then i update it to a pcb and when i perform auto route the software dont route all connections and it partially route the pcb
like this

So how to solve this problem and make the software performs complete auto rote process



Q2) is there a method to make the software auto places the components on pcb for best routing since i had to place the components manually in their possitions


Q3)How to make a single layer for simple designs like this shown in the previous image since Altium automatically route it as two layers although it is very simple!


Q4)How to produce such this image from a pcb using Altium

Thank you very much

Q1)i have proben with Auto route

A1) looking at the picture there may be few things that can effect it, 1 os the clearance rule, 2, the witdh rule and how you got to set it up for auto route aslo how your compents are palced.

Q2) is there a method to make the software auto places the components on pcb for best routing since i had to place the components manually in their possitions

a2 your best bet is to place them manualy I found that the autoplacer is no good, the way I do it is print of the schematic than place them logically according to your schematic i.e place say IC1 then R1 around IC1 an so on.


Q3)How to make a single layer for simple designs like this shown in the previous image since @ltium automatically route it as two layers although it is very simple!

A3. I have uploaed a short video to show you how it is easier to do it that way

Q4)How to produce such this image from a pcb using @ltium

A4. I use a PDF print engine (adode acbrobat 8) ad all ways get 1:1 size,
What I will do is another simple video to show you how

I think I understand what you want to do in your PM
There are 2 way you can use polyigon or solid fill so you have less area to eacth away

I'll sort it out

go here and you will find all the information you need it's the tranning manuals for altium, I did the videos beacuse they are easier than typing how to do it, But i have lack of time on my hands at the moment I have a big contract to finish off
