Capture/Layout ECO prob

[Active8]

Hey:

I locked down some footprints and nets in Layout and went back to
capture to add parts. I ran ECO to Layout from Capture. I got the
parts and ratsnest in Layout but when I try to route it, Layout
says that all routes are completed or disabled without routing
anything. There are no new nets in the nets spreadsheet, either.

I tried using the ECO tools from Layout, also. I tried overide
attributes and add only.

This isn't right having a ratsnest and no new nets.

What should I do?

TIA,
Mike

Actually, a query revealed that the new nets are in the

spreadsheet. It just worked out that the number of nets was the
same. Still won't route even if I unlock all the nets.

Actually, it says "Sweeps" not "Routes." Whatever. It still won't

Solution. Lock the nets and unroute the board. I figured it out

when I tried to unroute the whole board and some tracks were still
locked.
