Strange thing like "connector" in a trace

Hi,

 

Please see the attached image.  I don't know what that strange thing

(red rectangular-oval thing with lines crossed in it) in the trace.

Even after I rig-up the trace, that thing is still there.  I want to

remove it, but I can't.  It is causing an error when I do DRC check.

 

Please advise.

The DRC check has placed it there (red rectangular-oval thing with lines

crossed in it) to show you where an error is. In the DRC dialog you will see

why the DRC thinks it's an error.  It is being generated each time you run

DRC and will remain there on your design until you fix the error, perform a

'Clear errors'  or 'approve' the error.

Looking at the image I suspect there are two errors there. I'd 'Ripup'

everything , above, below and within the white box. Then perform a

'Ratsnest'. Then route the traces again.

If you grab the end of the upper trace and 'move' it out. Do the same with

the lower trace. If the two error traces are attached you will see them

stretch out with the other traces. With that view you should be able to

correct the placement errors.

Thanks all for the answer.  So, I didn't have to rig-up everything.

Here are the steps:

1. Clear all the errors

2. Rig-up that particular trace

3. Then re-route that trace

Thanks, all!
