Routing won't allow me to connect pad 8 on an MCP6002 to any other device

[jgilmore]

I looked through the forum and didn’t see this particular problem.

I placed an MCP6002 opamp on my schematic. This device was already in your library, so I used that. I matched the footprint using Package_DIP:DIP-8_W7.62mm for the MCP6002. The problem is I can’t route a track from pin 8 on the MCP6002 to any pin on any part on the board. The route tool allows me start the route, no problem, but it will not allow me to terminate it to any other pin. It will allow me to route it to a few of its own pins, just not to any pins on any other device. I suspect there may be an issue with the fact the symbol only shows pins 1,2,3. The power and ground are not on the symbol. Pin 8 is one of the pins not on the symbol. So there are no ratnest lines for pin 8. I even tried starting tracks on other pads I wanted connected and trying to get the two tracks to meld together. Nope. Not a chance.

How do I force the route tool to connect to another component’s pad? I tried drawing lines on the copper layer, that didn’t work either.

The image looks like it’s connected, but the DRC says otherwise.

Hello and welcome @jgilmore

MCP6002 symbol has 3 Units. You have only used two Units on your schematic.
The first two are the opamps…Pins 1,2 &3 (1 opamp) and pins 5,6 & 7 (2nd opamp). There is also a third Unit (C) which has power: pins 4 & 8.

If you place this third Unit on your schematic and connect it to power and Gnd (or whatever) then update the PCB from your newly modified Schematic all should be well.

Lots of symbols in Kicad have + & - power as a separate unit to the gates and amps. Be sure to place the power units on your schematics.
