Hi Peter, Welcome to EasyEDA. When you sau 'suggested connections', do you mean the faint grey `rat lines`? If you have set `Copper Zone > Visible` try making it `Invisible`: <https://easyeda.com/Doc/Tutorial/PCB.htm#Canvas> to see if it is just the bottom layer colour that is masking the ratlines. * Can you make a copy of your PCB public so that we can investigate your question?

I had this same problem and it seems as if I just didn't click close enough to the pad or something. I tried again and then it worked. You'll know you clicked the pad correctly because the ratline will be connected to the end of the trace you're drawing as you move it around.

Hi swimfar, Thanks for your input! It's good to see people in the EasyEDA community helping others out with their own experiences. :)
