"Connects -> Optimize routed tracks -> simple optimization" will remove micro-lines. Generally it is a good thing to do so - they are a nuisance for hand editing, and prevent the mitering optimizer from mitering corners that contain them. One thing to be careful of is that removal of micro lines that are inside a pad can cause a DRC violation. They often appear for pads that are off grid, connecting the nearest grid point to the pad center. Removal of these ones can cause a "insufficient copper join overlap" DRC violation. I suggest saving before trace optimizing, and also running DRC and netlist optimization before and after, and comparing results. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
