gEDA-user: PCB trace routing problem.

[j j <jsjpam@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

   I've been working on a project
   using a ancient versions of PCB
   and gEDA for an hour or two a
   week for three years or so. I've sort
   of learned how to use both
   programs, and drawn a pile of
   symbols and footprints. I've got the
   components placed where I'm
   happy with most of them.
   Drawing traces was going for a
   while, but now when I go to draw a
   trace, I'm having problems. When
   drawing the first segment all is well,
   all the connected pads highlight,
   but it appears that the trace, when
   drawn is not on the same net as
   the pads it's connected to. The
   new trace does not rubber band
   when components it should be
   connected to move. The new trace
   causes any further new traces that
   should also be on the same net to
   avoid it when the auto DRC is on.
   Additionally, ratsnest lines do not
   disappear when a new trace is
   drawn between connected pads.
   Does anyone know what could be
   going on here? Has anyone seen
   behaivor like this before?
   If I don't get this figured out pretty
   soon, I'm going to throw out the
   entire effort to date, and start the
   whole thing from scratch in a
   proprietary program.
