Problem in moving parts after routing!

Former Member

Hi all, can anyone help with my slight problem.

 

I have created a layout, used the ratsnest function to clear up the paths and then hit autoroute to generate the tracks. All is good at this point.

I then needed to move some of the component positions. Moving the parts is causing the tracks to folow very odd paths and hiting ratsnest is not correcting the problem.

 

Am I right in thinking that the ratsnest function will not work after an autoroute function has taken place?

 

How do I fix this?

 

(I hope my explanation is not too vague)

  • Thanks for the information.

     

    Is there a genuine function for 'unroute' ?

    I have tried to delete the routing so I can tidy it up but the program will not let me.

     

    "Cannot back annotate the operation, do this in the schemetic"

     

     

     

    WOW THERE ................................... I found the button marked 'ripup' ..... this is the tool I have been missing.

    Ripup all the routing and all is wonderfull again.

    I knew I should have read all of the instruction manual.

    The Ripup command if my memory is correct is one of the commands that works with groups. You should be able to select a section of your layout with the group command, click on the ripup button and right click in your group which will ripup the routing on the entire group regardless of their associated netnames. If you want to disconnect the airwires, that needs to be taken care of in the schematic editor which has priority on the interconnection list (aka netlist).
