adding extra copper (parallel) routes

e14 Contributor

Say I have 10 parts & all the airwires have been routed, so ideally

everything is done.

However, I want to add some additional copper paths, say from the input lug

terminal to the output lug terminal  (to give it TWO beefy parallel

paths--assume there is not room for 1 massive path)...or perhaps from R2 to

R3 to provide an extra current path for high current.  These do NOT violate

the schematic.  However, when clicking on the component pin, Eagle just

beeps--apparently to tell me that pin is already finished.

 

How can I override a "finished" pin to add an alternative rotue?

I don't want pours or polygons, just extra parallel traces (that might take

various geometrical paths).

    No - it beeps since it doesn't find an airwire to route.

    For adding tracks to existing ones, hold the Ctl key pressed when clicking.

     

    See the built-in HELP for details on the ROUTE command.
