Re: gEDA-user: PCB Lockup/Optimization

[Mike Hansen <mehansen10@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

   Thanks for the help, that is indeed the problem.  It appears whenever
   I autoroute the board AND it puts a via next to the edge of the board
   it's creating all those unnecessary traces.  If I can keep it from
   putting traces on the edge of the board then I should be fine.

   Thanks again for you help.
