Version 5.1.4-1
I have a layout in Pcbnew and accidentally left a copper trace “hanging”. I am not missing any connections–this was just a small piece of trace left behind after moving a footrprint.
The DRC check does not report any errors. In principle this will not cause an error in the physical board so this is not surprising, however I would expect that it is something one would want to be aware of and remove the trace.
Not sure if there is a DRC option somewhere to check for hanging wires?
That seems too invasive to my taste.
I’d prefer something like “Highlight (…)” as an option. I want to be aware of these, but would feel better if I was the one pulling the trigger.
Ha—not where I would expect it but great that they address this issue. As I mention I suppose having little track scraps is not entirely a DRC violation so I suppose they didn’t put it there.
