Looking at your screen shot I'd say that J2 is on the solder side (so it's greyed), while J1 and the brown traces are on component side - that's why the trace does not connect to J2 while it appears to overlap. The rat line on the overlapping pin is not a dot, probably because it connects to the first point in the pad-definition. Markus Hitter wrote:

And you have to watch for the orientation of the new footprints, you may have to rotate them 180 degree. And press "O" key to update ratsnest. Did you make your layout with the autorouter? I have done all manually, so I am not sure if the autorouter needs special care when exchanging footprints. For replacing footprints there is a special mode which allows you to replace single footprints -- sorry can not remember currently.Thanks for the quick answer, Karl, Stefan. All what you suggest works fine already. The new pads appear, I route mostly manually and I can flip the padThe problem is, an overlap between a pad and a track isn't recognized as a connection. I'll try to show this with a screenshot, the rats nest is freshly optimized:------------------------------------------------------------------------ Markus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
