PCB pool add in reports "air wires still existing"

Wolfskammer04

I installed the above mentioned add in. Actually my board is ready. Then I got this message from that add In. As yo can see in the attached screen shots there are still a couple of very short air wires visible. How can I make them disappear? How serious do I have to take this? I attached some small images to show it.

    The problem is, I routed all by hand. They don't exactly snap together as it should be. By what ever reason after even manual routing they stay some mils appart from each other.

    Especially I need a method to get rid of them by some kind of procedure, so that I do not have to pick up every trace.

     

    Thanks Roland

     

     

    If you have the autorouter module it should finish off the traces for

    you nicely, just set the routing grid to something like 5 mils and let

    it go to town.

    You're almost certainly OK to send the board to fab.

     

    If you want to get rid of the air wires, you should be able to pick them

    up in manual route mode, then as soon as you drop them they'll be turned

    into traces.

     

    (I'm not stating this well -- I hope I'm making sense).
