Rats don't short copper they travel across; they only electrically connect their endpoints. It's up to you - the layout person - to put copper (not rats) in the right places. PCB has some settings to help with this, like auto-enforce DRC clearance which highlights pins in the same net when you s

I use gEDA for small projects. One, and two sided boards only. It's been fine up until now. I now have a transceiver chip with some pins, a number of which I need to run to pin 1 on an IDE header. No matter how I draw the nets in gschem, the final rats nest runs produced in pcb is
