I have a question concerning blind vias. In some instances when I add a blind via, I get exclusions for the via on ALL layers. The via itself is not there- just the opening for it! I check the via layer setups to ensure they're correct, and have even tried deleting and adding back the via. The same problem occurs. Now note I said, in some instances. This problem does not occur for all blind vias in all instances. I cannot seem to find any pattern as to layer setups, or anything else as to why this is happening. The boards fab fine- I don't get via pads or drill hits where they shouldn't be. I just get exclusions for vias where they shouldn't be! Am I missing a setup somewhere else, or is this a bug?
Thanks!,

Steve H,
Please let us know which version of Ultiboard you are using (v12, earlier?). Also if possible can you send us an instance of the problematic VIA that you are seeing?
Usually this type of problem might be solved best by setting up a service request directly with one of our application engineers to get a full picture of when and how this occurs. If it is a bug, they can capture this information and work with R&D on a fix.
