That is awesome!

Dear Robert,

. I changed the midlayers to Plane layer again and the problem is solved
thank you so much for your help

Best Regards

Dear Robert,

I do not see inner layers in the PCB but it sounds that the VIA is connected to all of 4 layers. I can not see inner layers very well. maybe reilef or direct should be selected for Via?

could you please let me know your opinion.

And when you go into 3D model of the PCB? How does it look?

Dear Robert,

I tried to do what you said, but as you can see in below picture, it does not work out. I have error and the software is not contacting the via to the mid layer automatically.
also although I use Altuim Version 19.0.15, I can not see 3D Via stack in my VIA properties.

Could you please help me?

Best Regards,

[robertferanec]

Pixel2019 I am not really sure why you are having so much problems with it. It just should work. Do not use full stackup, just "Simple" - that specifies the VIA parameters on ALL layers automatically.

Try this, Place a VIA (in menu go to Place -> VIA). Select the VIA, and have a look at the Properties panel if VIA Stack is set to Simple. Double check the Diameter and Hole size. If everything is set correctly you should be able to route from the VIA on any signal layer.

right click on the layers area and select add layer

Dear Goncaloc,

Thank you so much for your reply. the main problem is I can again see only 2 layers in temeplete not 4 layers. but in via full stack in preferences or properperties, I can see 4 layers!!!!


Could you please help me?

Thank you so much

Try like this
create a pad via library

https://www.altium.com/documentation/altium-designer/pad-via-templates-and-libraries-ad#!creating-and-editing-a-pad-via-template-library

then you create a new template

If I understand what you want correctly, you then change the size of the via pad ( make that 0mm ) on the layer you want o isolate

Dear Goncaloc and everyone,

I changed my layers to signal layers, but still I could not defined the throughput VIA correctly.
we have different places for VIA. like via tempelate or via preference but I do not know from which place I must define the tempelate. I just one throughput Via which connects the
layer 1 and 3 and isolated from layer 4 and etc....I can not create such thing.

Could you please help me from which place i must start to change the templete or via ?

Dear Goncaloc,

Yes, I used internal layers for my mid layers. thank you so much. I will check it today at work.

Thanks & Best Regards,
Pixel

I'm guessing you are using planes as internal layers, not sure if that is a bug but, when using planes you can not edit full stack.
If you change your internal layers to signal layers then you should see the vias full stack.

Dear Goncaloc,

Thank you so much for your response. my main problem is, I can see in Full stack only two layers, not 4 layers or middle layers. I think I must change something in Rules, to see it compeletly in Full stack. I can not do that. how can I see Full stack with 4 layer in via properties? something should be change in Rules?


Could you please help me? Thank you so much.

Best Regards, 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hi Pixel2019

In the via properties panel you can define the vias full stack and use it to define every layers pad for a specific via.
You also have the via /Pad Templates, for each different via and Pad used in a PCB a template is created, so you can have a different template for GND and VCC vias, you just place a new via and say you want to use this or that template

Hope that helped.

Dear Robert,

Thank you for your response. I try to explain better.

You can see part of my design. I have more experience with PADS and l always did the vias like below picture in Altuim and I could set always which via could connect with which layer connected or isolated and I always used through vias.


Now, I can only make only one through Via in Altuim in from top to Bottom and not use through hole connected leyer1 and 3 connected .

I contact the manufacture to use through hole always, they said they must do it manually by themself BUT the other companies set that by themself.
so i do not know how to do that by myself in altuim. I want to use through whole always but I do not know how to connect or isolate it to the other layers.

Thank you for your response and help. 😄😅

You are the best.
