Are you really going to use the results of a 24 layer PCB autoroute? Just curious. Anyway, I modified PCB to highlight the rat that causes the problem. It seems that it's confused by ratlines that go from a pad to the corner of the nearest compatible polygon. I went into the netlist window and disabled GND and P* (appear to be your power nets) for rats, remade the netlist and then ran an autoroute. It's burning up CPU routing the signals now. If you are willing to do the power nets by hand, that might be a solution for you. Otherwise maybe the description above will tip off another developer as to how to fix the problem. -- Ben Jackson AD7GD <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.ben.com/ _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
