Need Help with Jumper Trace Routing in KiCad 7

Layout

Hello everyone,

I’m experiencing a challenge while working on a PCB design in KiCad 7. I’m trying to route a jumper trace, but I am unable to draw a trace beyond a certain point near a component.

I have confirmed that there are no edge cuts drawn on the component’s footprint that could cause this issue. It seems like some sort of Keepout area, but since it’s not showing up in the footprint library, I’m not sure how to deal with it.

Could someone guide me on how to resolve this issue so that I can complete my trace routing?

Thank you for your help!

You could for example try Interactive Router Settings (under Tools menu) → Highlight collisions mode and allow DRC violations. Then you can route there but see what’s clashing with green color. If you don’t see it, leave the track there and run the DRC check. It may tell about the clashing item.
