Missing Connections Error

[gabiervo]

I’m a full beginner, I’ve been working on my first macropad project and have been stuck on one error on my PCB that I can’t seem to understand, and is happening for basically every component:
Error: Missing connection between items
PTH pad 1 [Net-(J1-GND)] of J1

I saw some posts talking about having different nets, and I’m pretty sure I added those in my layers since F.Cu is attached to the 3.3V net and the B.Cu to the GND net, either way, none of the connections are working.

For example, the connection above has an error even when it clearly has a connection according to the ratsnest.

If there’s a ratsnest line then the connection hasn’t been made yet in the PCB layout.

PS: Welcome to the “fun” routing task. You’ll find it less frustrating if you approach it as a visual puzzle.

Hello and welcome @gabiervo

A ratsnest line is a visual guide to show you which pads of which footprints need to have tracks drawn between them.
Ratsnest lines are not tracks.
You will notice that when you have correctly connected pads to each other, with tracks (according to your schematic), ratsnest lines will disappear. When you only have tracks on your board and no ratsnest lines left, it is time to use the DRC.

You seem to have tried to use the DRC before connecting the pads with tracks as the wise @retiredfeline has stated.

Oooooh, thank you both so much! That solved the problem
