Questions about the routing of printed circuit boards (PCBs) which involves the placement of tracks on the board. It may be performed manually, but many PCB CAD programs provide an autorouter to assist in the process.

Why can't I connect my ground

This can prevent connection in the case that a previous routing attempt left some fragment of track behind and it's no longer associated with the same net. … Change your routing conflict resolution temporarily to "Ignore Obstacles." …

Altium: routing at 30, 120, 210 and 300 degrees

As of Altium 22.10.1, there is no support for routing at specific angles other than 0/45/90 and rotations thereof. … Using Any Angle routing mode allows you to place traces at an arbitrary angle, but they are not constrained to a specific angle or set of angles. …

How can I make a decent ground plane in Eagle?

The "holes" or "islands" that you are seeing are due to the fact that there is no connection that can be made with your current clearance tolerances given the position of traces and pads. If you move …

How do I create "beveled" T-intersection traces in Eagle CAD?

Right below the "Route" tool is a "Wire" tool, which you are probably familiar with from the schematic editor. You can use this to create arbitrary traces, such as short 45° segments to create a beve …

Why would the VCC/GND pins of an ATtiny26 not be aligned?

One very good reason, as I learned myself from a recent prototype, is reversing the physical layout of the IC in a circuit. I plugged a through-hole version of this microcontroller into a socket back …
