Is this a error

Hello

I am using PCB Editor and when i route the tracks, one single track always has this spotted line as seen when its being routed. I have attached a picture for reference.

Kindly anyone let me know if its a error. if so how can i rectify it.

Regards

Sachin

I think it is just the colour/pattern you have picked for one of the other layers - look at the cyan square at the top left of your image - it has the same pattern.

Check your layer colours and which ones are visible.

If it is Allegro PCB editor that you are using then the spotted line is just showing that you have highlighted this track with the zebra highlight. If you unhilight all the tracks this should go away

What is zebra highlight and how can i remove it. Can you tell me the steps to do so.

It does mean, its not an error and its okay to generate the gerber.

I did try to find color patterns. I tried to delete the part and use it again. Its seems to show the same thing. There are other 2 pin connector like the one used here, they work fine so i am tell its not the footprint problem for sure.

I think i should create the gerber and see rather then trying to rectify this color visibility issue.

If you go to the display tab at the top of the screen you will see in the window that comes up with clicking on the display tab something like dehilight, click this tab then go to the options filter on the right of the screen and you should have a group of buttons, click the nets button and the spooted line should go away.
