I should mention that if I then re-export again, back to Freerouter, it does not show the same 3 "incompletes" (which are Freerouter's ratsnests). This suggests: 1) that KiCad and Freerouter have a difference of opinion on whether the 3 nets are connected. Freerouter thinks they ARE connected. 2) that the "back import" could not have damaged the 3 nets to the point of unconnectivity, since the re-export goes back over to Freerouter fine. > I don't currently want to suggest a solution, since I am not up on the cause. > > However, I simply want to say that I don't think it is appropriate to show > ratsnest lines > unless there is an unconnected net, it is really that simple. > > I can pluck out all the tracks in text form, and we can see if they are all > tied > together.
