  • Hey Richard,

     

    I changed a few things on a board and now it gives me an air wire between two IC pins yet there is clearly a trace between them.  The trace is named the same as the connection on the schematic.  I can't seem to get the airwire to go away.  What should I do?  I'm using 5.11.

     

    What I don't want to do is rip up the whole trace and reroute it since it's a complicated trace.

     

    Thanks,

    Mike

    Hi Mike,

     

    what about ROUTE? When you try to route it does this help? You could also check with MOVE what the matter is. Maybe there are several wires at this position..... Once you got out what the problem is you can use UNDO to get back the original situation. Then decide how to proceed.

    If you are unsure, send me your board file with private mail to support@cadsoft.de

     

    Regards,
    Richard

    Richard,

     

    I fiddled with it and got it cleaned up.  Not exactly sure why it was doing what it was doing.  But I deleted the connection on the schematic, ripped up each end segment of the trace, remade the connection on the schematic and re-routed each end segment. 

     

    When you say ROUTE command, are you referring to using the icon from the tool bar on the left?  I presume so, and I guess it is a command.  But it seems more like a tool than a command.  Is there significance to entering a command on the command line?  I did enter ROUTE on the command line and it did nothing of significance other than select the Route tool.  I presume this is all the same, right?

     

    Thanks, it was your suggestion of using Route that got me going on it again.

     

    Thanks,

    Hi Mike,

     

    ROUTE as an icon is exactly the same as typing it in the command line. No difference.
