check all the wires are connected

Former Member over 13 years ago

Hi,

Is there any way to check in the board if all the yellow wires have been connected? Sometimes you forget a short yellow wire, so the board is wrong.

Regards,

Xabi.

Hi Xabi,
certainly there is. Use the RATSNEST command (this icon: ) and look into the status bar. If it says
Ratsnest: Nothing to do! you can be sure that all airwires are gone.

Regards,
Richard

Whilst the answers already here are technically correct; I sometimes find that there is a tiny little airwire left unattached that can be hard to spot on a densely populated board.

What I do for these is to hide the top and bottom layers, then make the airwire colour something bright like a red or pink, it usually stands out quite well.

It would be nice to have a "make the airwires obvious" button sometimes!

Hi Jim,

set the parameter Catch factor in the Options/Set/Misc to 0.
Now simply use the ROUTE command and click into the drawing. The next airwire will automatically jump to the mouse cursor and you have found it.

Regards,
Richard
