Re: gEDA-user: Locking down auto-routed traces?

Don't use the command "rip-up-ALL-autorouted"
if that's not what you want! You can rip-up selected
auto-routed traces: ":RipUp(Selected)", or just
selected traces (turn off silk or pad layers if you have
elements selected but don't want to delete them), then
":RemoveSelected()" (also available from the menus).
You can rip-up one net (whether auto-routed or not),
but shift-backspace with the cursor over any part of the
net.

Lastly, this points out a bug; you should be able to lock
the traces you want to keep and then the rip-up-all should
not be able to remove them, but presently it will.

Cheers,
harry

Subject: gEDA-user: Locking down auto-routed traces?



Is there a way to lock down the auto-routed traces, so that
"rip-up-all-auto-routed-traces" does not rip them up?

I like to lay my boards out in stages, while working a new stage,
I don't want the auto-routed traces of the last stage to go away.
