The problem is that the preroutes aren't even recognized by Advanced PCB- Another example-
If I take the PCB design in Advanced PCB and draw a square out of a series of tracks on the top layer and then import it into Advanced Route- Advance Route doesn't see the square- (what I mean is that physically is not there. It is as if I never placed any tracks). I appreciate all the responses.
