mr. lomax said: This is what happens when the autorouter stops or is stopped before completion. me again: what? if the autoroute doesn't complete then it leaves a bunch of unconnected "no net" vias and traces? thats ugly! those "no net" vias and traces are not going away even when i unroute the board. on a board i finished up yesterday, it wasn't a big problem... i went in and deleted them by hand, but now i'm on another board and i've got the same situation but there's unconnected vias and traces all over the place. its unusable. is there no way to get rid of all those junk vias and traces that an uncompleted autoroute appears to place, other than doing it manually? why did the autorouter go into an endless loop? i've never had trouble with the autorouter before. the board is not densely populated. there was plenty of room to run traces. thanks, miker * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
