somethings changed, when i manually route and click on the destination pad, if i dont click dead center now... im left with tiny tiny airwires

5.11 didnt do this... i have messed with alot of settings, nothing seems to help

 

Check your catch factor and select factor settings, by default they

should be 5% and 2% respectively. Perhaps on a MAC this is different or

the OS interprets the values differently it may be worth playing with

them to get everything working nicely. Try 7% and 3% or maybe 8% and 4%.

It's not that - you can zoom in all you want, and virtually hover over the exact centre of the pad, and it won't "ping" to let you know it's connected.

It even happens if you route a wire into another wire - if the other wire is on the grid, it doesn't think you've finished, so you have to double-click to stop it carrying on.

Just tried it in 6.0.2 (beta version) - still broken.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Move component with air wires connected to pads
2. Manually route to one of the component's pad from another one

It's easier to reproduce if the component's pads aren't on the grid.

No problem!

http://www.tribbeck.com/misc/Test5_11_0.zip is the URL for this.

It's not an exact match in terms of the original layout, but it behaves exactly the same when loaded into 6.0.0 (can't manually route after rotating Q1), and works correctly on 5.11.0.

btw, I used to run the support team for my company (which is also a software developer), so I know how useful it is to have these kind of files for developers. I'm now one of the developers (I was beforehand - just my project got cancelled, and they needed someone to run support...)
