 If you have a netlist file loaded into your PCB pcb ... shorted copper should 
 appear in a different color: orange.
 
 F is the key for viewing all the copper pins/pads that are on the same net.
 
 Occassionally it seems people get stumped (like myself) by little bits of 
 copper traces hiding under pads.  It's helpful ... in this case, or as a 
 matter of routine, to turn-off the pins and pads and look for short pieces of 
 copper that don't go anywhere.

gEDA-user: netlist PCB

2010-05-12 Thread Michael Theurl
Hello List,

I have some strange behavior with the pcb to routing net's. 
On the DRC check it is all fine but the Yellow Rat lines do some shorting 
stuff. in the PCB layout. And i'am wondering why this comes together. If i 
check the project.net file it looks all fine ? there are no shorts !!

is there a way to check the pcb net's to find unused, shorted or strange net's 
? Like a electric test from/to the .pcb = .sch files ?

i use the following version:

PCB version 20091103
gEDA/gschem version 1.6.0.20091004
On a Mac os X 10.6.3

thanx's a lot

michael

PCB's DRC doesn't check the netlist, the o key (optimize rats) does.

Rat lines aren't copper, they can't short anything.

DRC only checks for copper spacing rules, not connectivity.

If you're using a schematic, you should already have a netlist from
gnetlist.  The o key compares that current netlist with the current
connectivity and reports any errors.
