What would cause PCB to not properly maintain it's rats nest and/or netlist?
In particular, over the course of adding rats to a board I'm working on,
moving parts, changing out parts for others, etc., PCB has made a mess of the
netlist it saves with the board. The rats themselves *look* right when
they're drawn, but the list data doesn't match what's being drawn.
In the Netlist window, I find several duplicate entries, for example
"ratDrawn1" appears several times, each time with a different pin list, some
of which are outdated. I've had to erase all of the rats and the netlist
section from the PCB drawing file using a text editor, and start over from
scratch.
This board was not created using gEDA's schematic capture tools, rather I
decided to lay it out manually (gschema is too buggy right now, sorry).
