Kicad6 Pads preventing route trackss

[Michael1]

I hereby certify that I am not simply asking someone else to design a footprint for me.

This is an auto-generated message that is in place on the “footprints” section of the KiCad.info forum. If I remove it and ask for a footprint to be designed anyway, I understand that I will be subject to forum members telling me to go design my own footprint or referring me to a 3rd party footprint site.

I am ready to route my layout and am prevented from placing tracks between the pads in a BGA item. There is a finely defined circle around each pad which blocks my track. I cannot find any way to remove this circle.
Can anyone help?
Thanks Michael

There is a finely defined circle around each pad which blocks my track. I cannot find any way to remove this circle.

These circle is most probably the pad-clearance outline. The size of these circle depends on the clearance-value which itself depends on the pad-netclass.
All clearance-values can be set in the File–>board-setup. You have to check page “general constraints” and page “netclasses”. Additionally the netclass- clearances can be overridden with custom rules (also in board setup).

placing tracks between the pads in a BGA item …

Maybe starting first with a simpler project (for instance the kicad-tutorial) could also be a good idea? (Getting Started in KiCad | 6.0 | English | Documentation | KiCad)

Check pad clearance and tracks width. Don’t go below advised values by your board manufacturer.
