What I was looking at was the report window that opens most but not each time I optimize rats. Thanks for all the help. I made a 3.3V symbol from a 5V symbol and failed to change the net to 3.3V:1 and that gave the ring on that resistor and I was able to connect to ground and get the short 5V to gnd error. Why that messed up 5V and gnd I do not know. Other thing moving a component may have touched a ground with 5V and stuck to it. Orange rings/rats indicate shorts that are good to know. I ripped up all the 5V and ground connections and restarted watching the results from optimizing rats each iteration to locate my error.
