Identify unrouted nets

stellar

 Is there a report for unrouted nets or unconnected pins for the routes that are enabled? In Layout I just hit N for next and up comes the next unrouted net. I have ground disabled and have 3 unrouted nets. The unconnected pin report shows all the pins including the ground pins. A hotkey to jump to the next unrouted net would be ideal.

    there is a report generator under the tool option.also you can check this out by using display>>status..

     Yes the report generator shows unconnected pins. I've looked at dangling nets which is useful and status shows how many are routed out of the total. This has me stupified though in that I just want to jump to the unrouted net and can't figure out how to do it. In a lot of ways the old Layout tool is superior to this.

     well found the cause of my 2 noroutes and why I couldn't see them. I had delete a part in Editor and over in the schematic but Editor was working off the original netlist. I regenerated the netlist and the noroutes are gone. 

    I'm still hoping for a hotkey jump to the next ratnest option which has to be in this tool.

    If you get a log file with the co-ordinates reported, drag the mouse across the X / Y value and the display will be centred there, you only need to drag the mouse across the trailing digits of the X location and the leading digits of the Y location to get the whole X / Y location selected, no need to precisely select the location, release the mouse button with the X ? value selected and the display will be centered at that location.

    Generally, in PCB Editor, it's a lot harder to get the partial routes that were so prevalent in the old OrCAD Layout tool, hence the lack of a mechanism to get rid of them.

    Good point. The old layout would have those microscopic no connects that made the N(next) hotkey useful. I think as you say this is a non factor here.
