How to determine if a board is fully routed.


Question:
How to tell if my board are routed 100%?


Possible answer:
Make all layers visible and all nets and components enabled for routing: Make all layers visible in Color Settings. If you added a Color Rule for any individual items on any layer, be sure they are visible. Enable all nets for routing in the Nets Spreadsheet. There should be a Yes in the Routing Enabled column for all nets. Enable for routing all Components in the Components Spreadsheet that have a net connection. Click on the Spreadsheet icon in the Toolbar and select Statistics. A chart will appear containing two columns. This may take some time if it is a large board. Check the numbers in the % Routed boxes. Both columns should match. If it says 100%, the board is fully routed. If not, look in the Unrouted and Partials boxes for the number of remaining nets that need to be routed. To find the nets that need to be routed, click on the Add/Edit Route Mode icon in the Toolbar, then hit the N key (for Next) on the keyboard. The cursor will jump to the first unrouted/partial net and you can finish routing it. Continue using the N key until you get a message All enabled nets are fully routed. Check Statistics again to be sure % Routed is 100%.
