Air Wires are not showing

Collins
Collins over 2 years ago

I have taken an existing Eagle design and added some components and signals to the schematic. When I go to the PCB file, which is always opened with the schematic for back annotation, the parts have been placed but there are no air wires shown from those parts. How can I fix this?

    Well look at that!. Yes, the unrouted layer had been turned off. Jumping into an existing design as a novice has been a challenge.

    Be sure the connections on the schematic are properly made with "wires" not lines. The PCB will only show air wires if they are first connected on the schematic.

    If I drag the component symbol the net wire moves with it, so it should be connected....correct?
