This brings up the question as to whether you are actually refering to "traces" or "airwires"? If you meant "airwires" the whole time, then that is a completely different story. Yes, the "airwires" would be generated from the schematic to maintain the forward/backward anotation. Ann & David Scott wrote: > Very strange but this is what I found.
