How can I design a single layer board in Ultiboard?

The students I work with design some very simple boards and we want to make them single layer, mainly because we etch them ourselves.  Is it possible to set-up Ultiboard to route on a single layer?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ultiboard always has at least two layers, but you can turn off routing for individual layers. You will then get DRC errors for any copper on the "off" layers.
Open the design
Click Options > PCB Properties and select the Copper layers tab
In the Allow routing box, change the layer name Copper Bottom, and click Properties
In the Copper Layers Properties dialog, uncheck Routing. It should look like the image below

  • Gerber file for single layer board

    I have made a single layer board PCB in ultiboard. (on copper top)
    On making PCB, project explorer shows copper bottom & related botom layers. I thouht I can remove these layers in final gerber generation.
    But on final step, we can unselect the copper bottom layer option. So fro my single layer board, ultiboard generated gerbers as if its double side board.
    How to make settings in ultiboard for this?

    Hi there,
    In the Gerber properties window, you can only check the Copper Top layer and leave other settings as default when you export this Single layer board.
    Another way is when you design this Single layer board in the beginning, you can set only one layer at first.
    Click Options => PCB Properties and then select the Copper layers tab
    In the Allow routing part, change the layer name Copper Bottom, and click its Properties
    In the Copper Layers Properties dialog, uncheck Routing. It should look like the image below
    Hope it helps!

  • How can I restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, do I have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense

    I hope there has been found a more efficiant solution for this,  how can I restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, I really hope I don't have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense
    any suggestions?

    Did you try browsing your backups in the Finder ?  That is, do not go and "Enter Time Machine".  Instead, navigate to your Time Machine backup via Finder and then manually go to the time period (by folder name) you are looking for ... when you find your Aperture library you can then "Show Package Contents" and find the Master you are looking for.

  • HT1660 how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

    how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

    You are most of the way there. Each user having access to hard drive is the key. If users are limited in file privileges this is harder.
    Any files you add to your library and any files she adds to her library are available to the other. Just not automatically. Each user must add the files to their own library using the add file or add folder option from menu bar.
    What I have done is set library location to a location outside of My Documents\My Music. On my network storage I have a folder names s:\itunes. Both accounts iTunes are set to use this location for the library.

  • How can I delete a single song from my iPad?

    How can I delete a single song from my iPad?

    Hi lizdance40,
    The first part of your answer worked great, thanks for that!  However, since doing that, there are still songs on the iPad that I want to delete. I place my finger on the song, swipe to the left....and nothing. No red "delete" appears at the right. That used to work on my full size iPad, but not on this mini. I just purchased it last Friday...maybe it's defective?
    Thanks again,

  • How can I get a single jar file with NetBeans?

    How can I get a single jar file with NetBeans?
    When I create the project I get these files:
    dist/lib/libreria1.jar
    dist/lib/libreria2.jar
    dist/software.jar
    The libraries that have been imported to create the project are in separate folders:
    libreria1/libreria1.jar
    libreria2/libreria2.jar
    libreria1, libreria2, dist folders are all located inside the project folder.
    I added the following code to the build.xml:
    <target name="-post-jar">
    <jar jarfile="dist/software.jar">
    <zipfileset src="${dist.jar}" excludes="META-INF/*" />
    <zipfileset src="dist/lib/libreria1.jar" excludes="META-INF/*" />
    <zipfileset src="dist/lib/libreria2.jar" excludes="META-INF/*" />
    <manifest>
    <attribute name="Main-Class" value="pacco.classeprincipale"/>
    </manifest>
    </jar>
    </target>
    Of course there is also the project folder:
    src/pacco/classeprincipale.form
    src/pacco/classeprincipale.java
    Can you tell me what is wrong? The error message I get is as follows:
    C:...\build.xml:75: Problem creating jar: archive is not a ZIP archive BUILD FAILED (total time: 2 seconds)

    This is not a NetBeans forum, it is a JDeveloper forum. You might want to try http://forums.netbeans.org/. I also saw your other question - try looking in the New to Java forum: New To Java

  • How can i design a smart antenna using labview?? plzz

    i have my final year project. I am student of Beng in Telecommunications. How can i design a smart antenna using switched beam algorithm on lab view??

    You can hardly use LabVIEW to design antenna, but definitely can use LabVIEW for Characterization, Optimization, and Test your antenna design.
    Hope you got the point here.
    I am not allergic to Kudos, in fact I love Kudos.

  • How can i design square signal which having a positive and negative values equal to each other and separated from each other by controlled time or distance

    How can i design square signal which having a positive and negative values equal to each other and separated from each other by controlled time or distance, As it is shown in the figure below. and enter this signal in a daq.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    By the time you spend for the nice diadram you might have done the vi
    Your DAQ like to have a waveform (array of values and dt ak 1/samplerate)
    If you set the samplerate you know the array length , create a array of zeros, and set the values of both amplitudes ... 
    Since I don't want to wire others homework here are some pictures
    And there are some drawbacks is room for improvement in my solution, just think of rounding errors ... and what might happen if the arrays get bigger ....
