Cant connect 2 points / Very Beginner, First Day

Hello all :), i am VERY new to all of this. It is very much fun and i got a lot working already. Since years i want to create my own PCBs :) Right now i feel a little helpless because i can´t connect 2 points at the PCB. There are 4 times an ULN2803 attached to my PCB. So i got all tracks working. But one connection between ground of the one ULN to the other ULN wont work. I just wanted to link the grounds together. I pull the red line (Top Layer) and at least for me, it stops before i can reach the other Ground pin. (the route numer eg S$xxxxx matches) So i have no idea what i do wrong here (for sure it is my mistake) Second is i did copy first part of my pcb and did paste it at the same pcb and i see very thin blue lines between the pins of original and copyed one. Not sure this creates problems later when i want to order my PCBs. I marked my Project as "Pulic" with "Public Domain" Not sure this would help you guys to have a look at it. Please tell me how i can help you so it will be more easy for you to help me. And i am very sorry, if the questions are very dumb for the beginning :) Have a great day all and thang you so much for support !!! Project Name: ESP-Easy Breakout Sascha EDIT: First problem i found. After i did reopen the project i saw 3 pads in the way. before i saved the file i could not see it. Seems to be a graphic issue for the moment. I did delete the 3 pads and i could do the route just fine. So just the blue thin lines now after i did the copy of my first part are confusing. Will it couse problems later ?

Check that the net is not hidden in the left hand panel vDesign Manager. Also check that the routing is not set to automatically block routing where gaps are too narrow. See the tutorial for more info.

Thank you for your answere, Where can i find the settings about "automatically block routing" ? at the moment i have big issues with connecting all "GNDs" together. (maybe you could have a look at it ?) I have a red X in the Designer and i cant find more informations why it couses problems :( i would be very grathful for a little more help :) Have a good one Sascha

The X in the design manager means that the net is not completely routed in copper. Blocking copper track routing is in the Tutorial: [https://docs.easyeda.com/en/PCB/Route/index.html#Routing-Conflict](https://docs.easyeda.com/en/PCB/Route/index.html#Routing-Conflict) Sorry but it's difficult for me to advise more right now as I do not have access to a pc.

Thank you, you help a lot already :) I found my problem. i want to supply my ULN2803 from 5V internal OR 3-30V from an extern powersupply. So i made 3 holes to use a jumper later to select from where i want to use the power. So GND was not together because of the 3 holes for jumper later. I used the net name "GND_ULN" for the other hole now and it works. Question would be, how can i get it to work without this workaround. Can i somehow import a "jumper" and use it ? Thank you so much Sascha

oops, i can only edit my first post ? Another question is, how can i reload the designer to check errors are gone ? I dont see it right now. I have to close the project and reopen ist to see the different in the desingner for NET for example Greetz Sascha

The Design Manager is the Design button in the left hand panel. Click to open it then click on the circular arrows to refresh. Jumpers: simply find or create a PCB footprint for the jumper you want to use on the PCB. Then use a 3 pin header symbol in the schematic and assign the name your jumper footprint to the Package attribute of the schematic symbol. Please read (2.2), (4) and (6) in: [https://easyeda\.com/andyfierman/Welcome\_to\_EasyEDA\-31e1288f882e49e582699b8eb7fe9b1f](https://easyeda.com/andyfierman/Welcome_to_EasyEDA-31e1288f882e49e582699b8eb7fe9b1f) and also: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZRkPPMID68mBz9j9RMIJARNSXK12PDULZXP7kiThvDg/edit?usp=drivesdk](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZRkPPMID68mBz9j9RMIJARNSXK12PDULZXP7kiThvDg/edit?usp=drivesdk)

Hello :), sorry, i have one more question i cant find the answere. Yesterday i filled my PCB with copperarea to order 10 pieces. So today i want to do some changes and how can i remove the copper area now, so i have the pcb in black grid design mode again ? Thanks a lot Sascha

Do you mean delete the copper area or just to hide it? To delete, select the outline of the copper area (you might need to zoom in to see the dashed line) then just delete it. To hide it, look in the right hand Canvas attributes panel and then set Copper Area to Invisible.
