Unable to route bottom layer

My Ultiboard is not working correctly at all. I'm sure I've enabled all the options like Options>PCB Properties>Copper Bottom>Routable but I still get DRC errors saying:
"The object "Copper Polygon: Width(10.0000 mil) Layer(Copper Bottom)Clearance(10.0000 mil) Net(9) " is on a layer that is not allowed by the net settings"
The Autorouter refuses to use the bottom layer even though I have thru-hole parts that should be easily routable from the bottom. This is driving me crazy.

I am not sure which version you have, but you need to look at the bottom of the screen. There should be a spreadsheet view done there. In this spreadsheet you will find a list of tabs. Goto the tab that is labeled "nets" and click it. Once there go to the right and find the column that says "routing layer" and see what it says. If you transfered from Multisim it will probably say "10" which means to route the copper top only.
To change this i use this technique. I go down selecting all the nets with SHIFT>Left Mouse button and then once they are all highlighted I click on one net in the column and then enter the following based upon which side of the board you want routed
10 Copper Top
01 Copper Bottom
11 Both sides
Once you change one using this technique all of them will be changed as a group.
This works for me in the Power Pro Version. if you have a different version then I will have to go back and re-investigate how this can be done without the spreadsheet.
I hope I have helped some.

How to get rid of the new bottom layer with piano roll etc. in arrange??

Hey guys,
Just a quick question i suppose.
I work with 2 screens.
When I double click a midi event, i want the piano roll to open in a floating window, just like it used to be, and not in the new bottom layer (pop up) bar in the bottom of the arrange window. I want this because i like to edit on the second screen while still haveing an overview of my arrange on my 1st screen.
Does anyone know how to do this? Or perhaps know how to get rid of this new bar all together?
I hope someone does....
thanks in advance!
cheers,
PM

how annoying is it to go to a seperate screen set and then click a midi region just to edit it?
You haven't grasped the concept of screensets.
In the "old" way of working, in your arrange, you double-click on a region, which opens that region in an editor. You may have to move the editor position/size etc. You make your edits, and then close the window.
The screenset way of doing this is simpler and quicker. In your arrange, you select your region (one click, rather than a double click). You then hit a key command, lets' say "2" to switch to your editor screenset, which has the eitor or combination of editors you use, in link mode. As soon as you hit your 2 key, the editors will be recalled at the precise locations you specified, showing you the contents of your selected region.
When you are finished editing, just hit "1" to go back to your main arrange window.
Once you get used to this, you'll find it's a lot quicker and more efficient than all that rsi double clicking and window closing...

How to create a part with SMD pads on top and bottom layer

I'm trying to create a part that is a printed antenna. The board will contain an array of these so I am trying to create it as a part I can place. The active element of the antenna is on the top layer and the ground part is on the bottom layer. So I need an SMD pin on top for the active element and I need an SMD pin on the bottom to connect that part to ground. But I can't seem to be able to place an SMD pad on the bottom layer. How can I do this?

802.1x Guest Vlan and Routed access layer design

Hi!
For many reasons, I have to re-design my campus network in a more ISP like way. The plan is to move to a routed access layer in the next two years. I have 802.1x with guest vlan on my access ports(3750). I was reading on the subject and I found that the guest vlan feature was not availeble with internal vlan(routed port).
Is this limitation realy there, is there a way I can get around it without complicating my design even more. Do cisco have plan to lift this???

You cannot use/configure 802.1X on a routed port today. Typically, 802.1X is to be used for LAN edge ports.
The Guest-VLAN should work with a routed access design though. If your Guest-VLAN is chosen to be separate from say otherwise statically configured access VLANs, you would need to configure it via separate SVI with corresponding IP info (in a routed access model).
Hope this helps,

Sorry, I can't help you.
It's been too long since I have used SoapUI.
What is "getAttribute"?
It is not a SOAP request.
I also do know what "www.novell.com/vdx/service" is.

Unable to blend a layer

Hello,
I am trying to blend two images together and I have followed all steps correctly in the below uTube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98u_ZGpVmC4
So I have the masked layer selected. I have selected the correct gradent. I hold my shift key down and drag my mouse from one edge of the image a cross. Nothing happens. Is somebody able to please help as obvioudly I am doing something wrong here?
Thanks

If the two images are butting together, the blend will not work. The mask would blend one image with the background of the other. If you move one image in a bit, then the two can blend.
The mask needs to be on the top layer as it tells photoshop to display the top layer or the layers beneath it. If the mask was on the bottom layer it would show that layer or the non-existing layer below it (transparent)

Since installing the latest update of Photoshop CC two days ago, Auto Blend for focus stacking is selecting all pixels from the bottom layer instead of selecting the ones in best focus from each layer. Has anyone else seen this problem?

I installed the latest update of Photoshop CC two days ago on my Macbook Pro, and now when I try to do focus stacking by opening multiple photos and doing Auto Align and Auto Blend, the blend selects the entire bottom layer instead of selecting the in-focus areas from each layer. I even tried again on a series of images where this worked a week ago and the problem occurs. I have Photoshop on a Windows 8 machine and did not apply this latest update and it works fine. Has anyone else encountered this?

And since installing this same update, my Photoshop is crashing just after starting.
Ashutosh.Nigam suggested me in this forum to change the permissions to SLStore & SLCache Folder, but it did not work.
Ali from french Adobe support told me to delete my Settings files, but it was not enough.
A girl with no name from the same team told me to update my video card driver, but you know I run the latest Mac OS X version and everything is updated, mademoiselle.
Stephane sent me a link to a huge page of things to do :
- Troubleshoot account-specific fonts, but there wasn't any corrupted font
- Delete account-specific Adobe cache files but... guess what...
- Troubleshoot account-specific login items but... yes, that's it, I can see you understand me
- Reset the access settings on the user account's Library folder... oh god, that was fun, I used the Terminal and sudo commands
I did all of these things because when I tried to open PhCC in an other admin session, it worked, so that was an incompatibility between my session and PhCC. But, but, but, when I tried again to lauch the app in the second session, it worked fine but refused to quit. Ha ha ha.
So you can try to delete your Settings files. I wish it'll work for you. If not you can try the long list above... or hope a better answer from the support.
I didn't change anything but Photoshop on my session and they ensure that the bug is due to my session and not to their update. Strange affair.
Good luck,
JLuc

Getting master graphics to be on the bottom layer.

Hi all, I have a master page with a footer that has a shadow coming of the top. On my pages, this shadow is covering up the graphics. I want my page graphics on top, but I can't seem to figure it out, even though I've put the master graphics on the bottom layer. Anyone have a solution?

Thanks for helping. So this is a combination of two masters. The first is my base master, with the footer. The second is a master with product information. When I open the product page master, it looks fine there. Below is a screenshot of what the master page looks like.

When you reduce opacity of a top layer how do you keep a bottom layer from shining through?

I have two objects intersecting each other on different layers. The object on the top layer I reduced the opacity for and the bottom layer which was previously hidden now is shining through. I do not want this to happen. I want the bottom layer to remain hidden beneath the top layer despite the lowered opacity. How would I accompish this simply? I have CS2.
Thanks for any help with this...

Thanks Trex,
Yes! This works very well, amazingly great advice. One side note you might be able to use for future reference: the object on the bottom layer assumes a slightly different hue than the object on the top layer even when I adjust the opacity to the exact same level (both objects were the same color to begin with). I discovered this was because colors show up slightly different whether the background is white or a background with no color. So I simply created one more layer and placed a white colored object and placed this layer below my bottom layer object. This then matched the colors of both the intersecting objects.
Anyways, you probably already knew this, can be confusing to explain all of this in words.
Thanks a lot for your help, this saved me many minutes of frustration.

How do I mask text across layers to an image at bottom layer?

I have several layers of text which I want to mask to a bottom layer, which is a moving image.
The text layers appear in sequential chronological order to make a sentence (and I need them on several layers for positioning). The first word's mask works great, but none of the other texts/masks end up showing as they are on lower layers and are being masked
I also want the masked out area to be black.
I am attaching an image which shows what I want, but imagine each word is on a different layer, show up sequentially, and are surrounded by black.
Thanks!

Use text animators to reveal your text. Use the text layer as a track matte for the video. All that is required is two layers.
If you insist on having each word on a separate layer, precompose your animated text layers and then use the pre-comp as an alpha track matte for your video.
These are AE basics.

Unable to burn Dual Layer DVD's with Toast

Hi all,
I'm having issues trying to burn dual layer dvd's with either Toast 10.0.8 or 11.0.1. I keep getting the Interface -50 error and sense key 0x02 error saying media is incompatible.
I have tried dvd's by DataWrite and Elite M and they both show error. It's strange though as I have been using previously purchased Elite M dual layer dvd's of the same spec as these newly purchased ones, and they worked fine!
My dvd drive is a standard OPTIARC AD-7170 that came with the Mac Pro as spec'd.
I am able to burn single layer fine, and dual layers are read. I'm just unable to write dual layer at the moment.
Any ideas? I'm stuck on what to do and what manufacturer's dual layer dvd's will work with this drive. It can just do +R DL.
Could it be I've been unlucky to have had 4 bad batches? I brought 2 x 2 (25 disc) tubs of DataWrite and same by 50 disc tubs Elite M.
Please help.
Thanks,
Ash
P.s. I have tried creating a new admin user account to see if I am able to burn under that. I get the same errors.
P.p.s. "Hopefully" this is just a media issue and I can find some that works again. If not and it is a drive fault what can I do? What writers spec'd same are available internal for my Mac Pro?

If think you may be using the wrong speed-range media for that drive's capabilities. As I mentioned, there are two ranges, and 8X media cannot be written in a 2.4x (sometimes referred to as 4x) drive.
When you get an error message that actually tells you something concrete, you should listen to it:
CANNOT WRITE MEDIUM - INCOMPATIBLE FORMAT
... is pretty unambiguous. It's a problem with the Media.
Off-Brand media is the next weak link in the chain. One of their many problems is that they vary wildly from batch to batch. Verbatim media are thought to be the "gold standard". Get a small number of Verbatim Media and see if you can make ONE master on the best in the market. If you can, the problem is in the Media. If you can NOT, the problem is in the process.
Like I mentioned I have never had issue with Elite M before, and I always set Toast to burn "Best" under the recorder settings.

DVD Studio Pro 4 Dual Layer Disc Question - Can Files Be Moved from Top to Bottom Layer?

HI Everyone -
I have authored a dual layer DVD for a feature film with lots of bonus material. I put the layer break in the least intrusive spot where the frame is already still and there is little sound. Layer switch is fine. DVD plays as it should with no problems other than the expected pause during the layer break.
I'd like to have the layer break at a point much earlier in the movie, where it actually goes to black and silence for a moment - a spot DVDSP4 won't let me assign a layer break marker to. I do understand why.
DVD Studio Pro has the movie on the bottom layer of the DVD, I assume because that is the first track I created.
At this point, is it at all possible to move the tracks around where the bonus features take up most of the bottom layer so the less of the movie is on the bottom layer and I can move that layer break up (without completely re-authoring)?
Thank you for your time.

The fun continues...
The DVD Drive on my 10.6 machine seems to no longer be working...
Maybe this caused/contributed to/resulted in the earlier problem?
Anyone else experiencing similar issues? All hard drives and firewire drives seem to be functioning normally at this time.
My 10.5 machine appears to be eating through the DVD writing process successfully... slowly, but successfully

Mountain Lion Server VPN unable to route internet traffic

Hi! I have set up a VPN server on my home network specifically so that I could connect via a VPN client remotely and tunnel all internet traffic through my home network (It is a long story but I need to be able to access services that are specific to my home IP . . . ) I have been tearing my hair out trying to get it work but can not. The VPN connection happens OK and I can set up the remote client to send all traffic via VPN but any internet traffic just times out . . . In other words I can not get the server to share my home network via the VPN connection.

Hi and thanks for taking the time to answer.
As I am sure you have guessed I don't have much experience or knowledge with this. So I will try to clarify what I am trying to do.
I do not need a VPN server for the conventional reasons of being able to access a private network (i.e my home network) remotely, although this is a nice additional benefit. I need the VPN server so that I can log in remotely (when I am using my mobile broadband or when I am overseas for example) and make it look like the machine I am using is on my home network.
The reason for this is that I have access to web services that are IP specific. That is I can ONLY log in if I am logging in from my registered home IP (which is static for this exact reason).
I have been told on similar support sites that if I route ALL traffic through the VPN, then when I use my browser on the remote machine all web traffic will go through the VPN as well and it will look like the traffic is coming from the subnet of my home IP.
I guess in other words I am trying to use my VPN as an "anonymous" proxy (anonymous in the sense that although the traffic is coming form somewhere else, it still looks like it is coming from my home IP).
I know this will cripple the speed due to the narrow upstream bandwidth but I am willing to pay this price.
Now as for your questions:
I have the server set up on a machine on my home subnet and I have enabled VPN port forwarding on the ADSL router.
I know the connection happens as when I connect the VPN either from my iPhone using 4G or my laptop using my mobile broadband I get the "connecting . . . authenticating . . . connected" messages and when I check in properties it shows it to be connected to my home IP as VPN server and has an IP address that looks like it is on my home subnet.
By internet traffic timing out I meant web traffic.
As I mentioned above, I need all web traffic to go through the VPN. So indeed not ALL traffic but definitely ALL web traffic. The only way I could find to do this is to enable the "Send all traffic" option.
Now I guess the obvious question is why am I not using a proxy. I have tried (and spent ages setting up Squid) but could never get it to "hide" the true origin of the traffic completely.
Now having written all this, I reinstalled mountain lion and server yesterday (out of sheer frustration rather than anything else) and it seems to work this morning. So if I log in via VPN on my mobile or laptop and use an IP checker on the web it comes up with my home IP : ))
The only thing I have now noticed is that if the VPN server stops working (which seems to be as soon as the computer I run it on goes to sleep) web traffic reverts to using the normal channels which is potentially problematic for me.
So my questions now are -
Any ideas what I was doing wrong in the first place?
Any suggestions on how I could set this up better?
Any way to set up the remote device so that it only allows web traffic via VPN (so that if the VPN connection drops, it is unable to use it's own internet connection for continuing web traffic)?
Thanks for any suggestions : )
Cheers

Unable to route requests to second stage in AE 2.0

I have 3 stages in AE. The first is to the POC, then it is sent to IA for approval, but for some reason they are unable to see them in the queue. Does anyone know the steps for setting up a stage and path in AE so that I can double check how I did it, or has anyone ran into a similar issue?

Are you using a BT Home Hub with the IP Phone attached. This holds onto the SIP port that iChat uses. There is no way to get the router to release this port.
I had to return it all to BT as unfit for purpose and switched to Eclipse!

T430s, unable to open bottom cover screw

Hi,
I wanted to check if I can add a mSATA drive to my t430s
but I am unable to open one of the bottom cover screws
It is so hard closed, it simply does not move (spin).
When I trial to open it I scratched a bit over the surface of the screw.
And for sure not because I am stupid, so far I opened all of my Thinkpads without any problem.
so I think there is something strange with this screw.
This means that my T430s is not expendable and repairable.
What now? What shall I do
W500 Windows 7, T410s Linux, x121e Linux, T430s Windows 8.1,
and my wife's Edge E330 Linux

finally I was able to open the screw,
this was really a quality issue, dam soft screw and to hard in.
not happy about this.
and I need a replacement for this screw
and unfortunately I found a Ericsson modem in the mSATA slot.
so it seems there is no mSATA available :-(
