Any help would be appreciated. Nick Cobb Virtually any design rule violation can cause this. Especially any of the clearance rules. One that I have been bitten by is a general 8/8 design rule but a few fine line devices with only 6 mil clearance between pads. Adding a design rule specific to the region or to the component should fix this one. Also, check that you do not have any pads too close to one another as this will cause a DRC violation. Try running a batch DRC and checking the errors.

Re: [PEDA] Autoroute error message
The board can still be auto routed with arcs on the keep out for the border, it just ignores them. Have you run the drc, or check to see if you have any violations on the navigation panel. What was the last trace size that you placed? If I remember right that auto router will default to the last track size you placed.

Re: [PEDA] Autoroute error message
I figured out the problem. I had to add a rectangle around the board so that the autorouter would initialize. Then when autorouting it placed tracks right through the arc on the keepout layer. Why would the autorouter ignore keepout arcs? It doesn't make any sense to me.
