Re: Odd board

 

Hi Michael,

Are you sure that the file you have sent to the list is the same file you are openning in pcbnew? It could be possible you have 2 copies of the same file in different folders.

I can see the hole in stable and nightly versions, like anyone else but you.

Sorry I can help with a solution.

Pedro.

I never tried to change setting on the routers, still, no better with
this bug regardless.

    Hi Michael,

    Odd.

    FWIW, if you set the interactive router to �Highlight Collisions�
    mode it will put you in the driver�s seat.  (I think it then acts
    more like Default, although it�s been so long since I�ve used
    Default I can�t remember exactly.)

    Cheers,
    Jeff.

    And I'd do more outside of default view if backspace and delete
    worked on traces the same or maybe if the interactive router
    wasn't so wonky when I'm trying to be precise about where I want
    traces (you pitched it so I'm providing the feedback.)

        Hi Michael,

        You appear to be in Legacy graphics mode (probably still
        called �Default� in 4.0.7).  Have you tried OpenGL or Cairo
        graphics mode?  (Note that the modes also change the toolsets,
        and are a big step up over the default/legacy toolset.)

        Cheers,
        Jeff.

        I did try that, but given the oddness of the behavior, I did
        not resave the board in case someone wanted to check it out
        and saving would somehow mess things up.  Here is the screen
        shot with all layers and everything enable, still empty at
        the bottom.

            Be aware you have set many layers and NPTH to "no show".
            Perhaps you should set all items and layers to "show"
