Tidy Connections

This is an enhancement to the current Routing Completion Report, where generating a report which lists unrouted connections where a physical signal path between two nodes is broken (i.e. when you cannot go from one node to another through a continuous physical path of vias, routes, copper, split planes or power plane layers).

You can now in the Defaults dialog, turn on the Tidy Connections option, and all the unbroken connections in the design view are hidden.

In the example below, you have a connection between two pins.  In addition the two pins are connected to a via which also connects to power plane layer.

With the Tidy Connections option on, since that the two pins are connected through the vias and power plane, meaning the routing between the two pins is complete, therefore the connection is obsolete and hidden.

However deleting one of the via, breaks the link, so the connection is shown.

The Tidy Connections option can be configured to update the design view after each item operation By Item (i.e. each component move), or menu option command By Option (after set of component moves).
