How to handle "unconnected pins" when they are apparently connected throught copper tracks?

EuSV

I have done a translation from old project to 16.6 orcad version. I have followed the whole of files traslation steps, importation, configurations, etc until I had no errors. I generated netlist and update the board layout. So looking to the pcb editor canvas it can be seen that there are some rastnets between pins that are connected because they have tracks connections. I followed the tracks, vias, etc path and there are electrical path. So I don't know how to solve this.

example: 

So I generated the unconnected pin report and this says that there is unconnected some of them, including the one seen at picture. I check the track names and all the segments forming the track path has the same net name. 

How can I deal with this? How can I do for looking the part that is not connected? can it be an interface mistake? I'm sure that the two pins has connection has a continuous track connection.

  • i find that the "unconnected pins report" does not indicate the locations where the nets are unconnected.

    so it is very frustrating.

    it is very difficult to find the unconnected point just by looking at the report.

    what i usually do in this situation is to find antenna vias on the "dangling line, via and antenna report" and remove or modify those antenna vias one by one.

    most of the time it works for me to clear the unconnected pin issue.
