I'm attaching the symbol and am laying out the board. None of the pins that tie to the big pad are orange, only the big pad and when I click on the board the orange goes away.

My suspicion would be that you have the fet the wrong way around or the pads are not assigned correctly in the footprint or symbol.

Pins 5 thru 8 get tied together and the actual footprint has a big pad that ties them together. I'm attaching the footprint that I made also. I'm having trouble with PCB making the big pad orange when I optimize rats. The big pad lays across each pad for each pin. How can I do this? Suggestions? Or, since only the big pad that lays across the pads for each pin turns orange, should I just ignore this?
