No logical connections between footprints

Hello everyone.

I have been working on a project and I've come across such issue.

I created a schematic of a power converter. Here's a piece of it. Q1 transistor is in SOIC-8 package (1,2,3 - Source, 4 - Gate, 5-8 Drain).

I assigned footprints and when I imported netlist, I noticed that there are no logical connections between pins (Net number is correct, however). How can that problem be solved?

Do any ratsnest show up when you select a symbol?

Somehow, I keep triggering the >Placement Mode >Menu mouse button >Customize >Display Rats of Selected Components, which hides all rats nest if you don't have a part selected.

Or, switch to Etch Edit mode, set your Find filter to Nets only, then see if pins on the nets flash when you move your mouse over them.

I see the pins are highlighted when the cursor is over them but the thing is, I don't see logical connections (I mean blue lines). I see them in all of the elements except for that transistor. In the transistor, I created a PACK_SHORT property. Can that property affect the nets?

I can't tell you what PACK_SHORT does. Do rats show up if you select a part?

I see rats for pin number 4 only.
