It is not clear this is a duplicate of 2921--though it might be--so I am
restoring its independent status.
This is a case in which wiring has been done in only pcb view. When then
attempting to autoroute in pcb view, the autorouter is unable to complete at
100 tries, so some of the connections must by definition be lost (since a
success in this case would mean rerouting what is already there).
Some choices for this particular file are:
-- do the wiring in another view, so that you can see ratsnests if the
autorouter doesn't complete
-- bump up the number of tries given to the autorouter, in the hope that it
will succeed (note, it still doesn't do any better at 1000 tries)
-- undo after autorouting to return to the original state
In general, I would call this a UI issue: specifically in cases where all
wiring was done in a given view, and then the autorouter doesn't complete in
that view. I believe the user's intent is to use the autorouter to clean up the
hand-routing, and frankly, our autorouter is not currently up to that task.
Here are some suggestions:
-- When the autorouter gives up, put up a message to let the user know that
connections have been lost, since it didn't complete (and there are no
connections in the other views).
-- When the autorouter gives up, it should automatically return to the original
state, saying that it failed to complete, and can't improve on the former
state.
-- The autorouter should just state at to begin with that it probably can't
improve on what has already been hand-routed, and should bail out immediately
without doing anything.
