Here's a screenshot (link to Flickr) showing the airwires.  Clicking on the

ratsnest button does nothing

  • Hi Scott,

    It looks like the connections are drawn as traces on the PCB layout top copper layer. These can be altered with the "Ripup" tool, which will convert traces back to unrouted nets. If the nets go nowhere, this action will make the trace dissappear.

    Ratsnest will only clean up unrouted nets.

    The connections need to be made on the "Nets" layer in the schematic. Then they will show up as unrouted connections on the PCB layout.

    It is possible to draw connections only on the layout, but if the are not already on the schematic, Eagle does not know where they are supposed to be connected, so you would have to make sure the connections are correct just by your own inspection and editing.
