Do you know if it is possible to define localized back etching (LBE) in EMX? It should be associated to a layer which defines the holes done in the substrate. I've not found any reference for this in the .proc syntax. 

--> Answer found. This is not possible because EMX considers the same dielectric in all x-y plane

Hi, newbie here.

We are using AWR Design Enviroment in our university and so I have to install it (OS: Arch Linux)
I installed it in a Windows 10 VM without problems.

When I try to start it prompts "Failed to connect to license server", I guess thats the first problem.

After that when trying to generate my SUL License it will prompt Internal Error -8 (see Image)

I can't find something on Error -8 :/ and overall the available data to the license topic is quit low :/

If someone has a solution for that I would gladly hear about it :)

Is there a way to set a thru via hole to thru via hole spacing constraint?

I need the hole to hole spacing, nit pad to pad spacing.

I can calculate the spacing using the via pad diameter, but this won't work for multiple via pad sizes.

Hello everyone!

Have you ever used the axlDllOpen function for Allegro 16.6?

It doesn't work for me. Please give me your solution.
Thank you.
