It was quite simple in these cases (including the original post) as there was a net assigned, and so a rats nest going to that point.
Yes, if there is a no-net version, there would be little way of knowing without some utility. -----Original Message----- From: Abd ul-Rahman Lomax [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 08, 2002 12:20 PM To: Protel EDA Forum Subject: Re: [PEDA] Removing virtual tracks As I mentioned previously, editing and deleting zero-length track is not difficult *if* you can find the track, unless it is small compared to snap. The difficulty is finding it. Right now the only comprehensive way I would know to find all zero-length track is to copy a spreadsheet dump of track coordinates into Excel and subtract the starting coordinates from the corresponding end coordinates. If both results are zero, then the track is zero-length. If the difference is even 1 microinch or 10 nanometers, the track will display. I did not test smaller differences.... One of the coordinates can then be altered, even if only slightly, which will cause the track to display. But if you want to find and get rid of such track easily, I'd suggest editing one coordinate pair to 0,0 (in the spreadsheet) and then update the PCB from the spreadsheet. (Using the spreadsheet to change the PCB is a fairly obscure process, especially if the data is coming from outside, as it might be in this case; we have described at length how to do it in other recent posts.)
