Hi John, What was the part number?

1.Create a PCBLib, who is placed a square pad in the canvas, save. [https://docs.easyeda.com/en/PCBLib/PCBLib-Create/index.html](https://docs.easyeda.com/en/PCBLib/PCBLib-Create/index.html) 2.Place a one pin connector in the schematic, you can find it at EELib - Connector [https://docs.easyeda.com/en/Schematic/SchLib-Search-And-Place/index.html](https://docs.easyeda.com/en/Schematic/SchLib-Search-And-Place/index.html) 3.Re-update the package for the connector at the footprint manager, search the PCBLib you created, and update. [https://docs.easyeda.com/en/Schematic/Footprint-Manager/index.html](https://docs.easyeda.com/en/Schematic/Footprint-Manager/index.html) Or you can create a SchematicLib and assign the PCBLib you created. and place your schematicLib in the schematic. thanks

Ah, OK. I think I recall now. If you place an instance of the basic single pin connector, HDR1X1 schematic symbol in the schematic and change the package attribute to the name of whatever pad you created and saved for the package for use in the PCB.

I can't say that I did all that, what I did do was put 13 of the HDR1X1 pads on my schematic page, then I updated my PCB view to add them to the inventory of the PCB page. Then I placed the pads wherever I needed them.  I connected everything on the PCB with pad to pad traces, and autorouting every so many connections to get the autorouter to do some of the more difficult traces. When I got done, I had zero DRC errors, and the board looked beautiful. If there was anything wrong with how I accomplished my goal, i have nothing in the system to indicate that anything is wrong. Is there a way for me to share the board with only you, and not make it public for anyone to see?

You can make a board that way but it is very prone to errors and as you have found takes a very long time. As I have tried to describe in my other post to you, the Schematic is the master document from which the PCB can be generated with the minimum of effort when you click on **Create PCB**. All the pads of all the PCB footprint will already be connected up by ratlines for you from the netlist that the schematic passed into the PCB editor. You don't have to do anything with the Pad to Pad tool. All you then have to do is move the PCB footprints that are specified by the Package attributes of the symbols in the schematic and then get pulled into the PCB, to where you want them on the board and then use the Track tool to turn the ratlines into routed copper tracks, adding vias to change layers if and where you need them (just press **B** to swap to the bottom layer and **T** to swap to the top: a via will automatically be inserted for you with the required netname and routing will then continue on the new layer until you exit routing that track or swap back to the other layer). Far less work than having to create a schematic and a PCB that are in effect to separate files and then constantly have to try to manually reconcile them with each other to somehow keep them in sync whilst having two sets of Design Manager checks that are essentially unrelated.

To share with me only: [https://docs.easyeda.com/en/Share/Add-Member/index.html](https://docs.easyeda.com/en/Share/Add-Member/index.html) and enter my username. Message me when you have done it to remind me: I get a lot of notifications so I may miss yours.

@andyfierman  I will try to do that now that they rejected my board and refunded my money.  What I did not notice has to be a bug in the way pad to pad is working. The transformers are the only through hole parts, and the pad to pad put the end of the trace right over the 20mil holes for the transformers. I move them off, and I can fix it, but autoroute keeps putting the trace over the hole. The circuit board people said that I had no holes there. Well, yeh, but it is their software that is filling them in. I fixed all the holes but two, and they both have the same problem.

Joe, "The circuit board people said that I had no holes there. Well, yeh, but it is their software that is filling them in. I fixed all the holes but two, and they both have the same problem." Tracks do snap to the centre of the pads to which they are connected. However, if you have somehow created the pads as single sided pads or made some other error then it is quite possible that you have located track ends into the centres of pads but which have no holes. I'll have a look at your project but I suspect you would be best simply starting again from scratch. In the meanwhile: I'm guessing that, because your schematic is not the file from which you created the PCB, there's little point in running the checks in (4) in: [https://easyeda\.com/andyfierman/Welcome\_to\_EasyEDA\-31e1288f882e49e582699b8eb7fe9b1f](https://easyeda.com/andyfierman/Welcome_to_EasyEDA-31e1288f882e49e582699b8eb7fe9b1f) however, did you run all the checks listed in (6) in the same document? Especially, did you generate and very carefully check the Gerber files?

I did check the Gerber file, but after they rejected it, and they were correct, the holes did fill in. I think I corrected it, but autorouter won't rout today, it always times out. I loaded it locally and ran the bat file so it is running, but there must be one other step, since it won't let me select local.   I am going to keep trying autoroute as many times as I have to,  until it completes.
