  • Comment: ratsnest on connected nets

    Workaround - select from left toolbar "don't show filled area in zones" then run DRC Note: turning general rats nest on/off via left toolbar misses a Redraw event for off! Requiring a redraw button push.

  • Comment: ratsnest on connected nets

    All nets (connections) to Zones show as disconnects until zone fills are enabled and then agree with DRC. However the rat's nest is hard to see with zones filled. Filled zones show keepout areas but should not be necessary to detect connectivity. I suggest that vias to named zones be considered good enough to establish a connection and not showup in the rats nest.

  • ratsnest on connected nets

    The attached 4 layer design example has 2 pins connected to a GND plane zone on an internal layer using 2 through hole vias. The ratsnest still shows an non-connection between the two pins. Freeroute doesn't show the extra ratsnests. But I wonder if the via type is correct! Using a two sided board seems to work ok.
