An unplated hole will give you an incomplete net. This is usaually not fatal as you get all your connection holes plated anyway. I tried several ways to locate the non-plated items with varying degrees of success.

Hello All, Anybody run into the Reports vs DRC with respect to 100% complete connections being different. I ran DRC for uncomplete net and it is clean 100% connections. It is a 6 layer card with a split gnd plane, vcc plane not split and there are many polygon plane areas also one layer is mostly polygon planes. I di da very carefull look there but nothing seems to be in error. I also put system in single layer mode and viewed up each layer to hope to spot a netline, nothing so far. If I run the report for connection status I get 1 incomplete net, in this report it does not tell you the net that is not connected, unfortunately. So anybbody got any suggestions as to how to determine if the board is done?? I did a netlist output from PCB of connected copper, and compared it to the schematic output netlist and they match 100%. I also checked for parts off board area by selecting all outside area and the move slected up and into vieable area and no luck, I also check Pick and Place for any negative Y coordinates none. Is there anywhere else to verify 100% completion?
