Error processing 'J6': Cannot modify element; the object or a parent has the FIXED property. ------The item does not appear to be fixed.

StepscanDarcy

Hey guys, 

I've seen this one posted a few times, and I don't seem to be finding a fix that works for me.    When trying to make a new netlist, I am always met with this error.  I've gone into PCB editor, made sure it wasn't fixed.


#1 ERROR(SPMHNI-175): Netrev error detected.

ERROR(SPMHDB-195): Error processing 'J6': Cannot modify element; the object or a parent has the FIXED property. [help].


If the object is not fixed, and i'm getting this error, where do I even start?

**UPDATE**
I managed to "work around" the errors, and fixed up alot of what I was seeing, but the new board didn't maintain the connections of the previous components I replaced, or there's DRC errors.

Picture Attached Below.

DRC Problems?

    Sorry, got really busy yesterday.


    So, I did what you recommended, and I am miles ahead of where I was a few days ago.   I'm currently trying to remake all of the connections that were disturbed during the change.   Because i'm not the original creator of the board, i'm worried i'm going to drastically mess something up.   I mean, I'm following the old board, and the schematic, but I still get nervous because I don't fully understand everything yet.   

    If you know any tips for making connections fast, and easy, that would be fantastic,   If not, I will PM you with any questions or roadblocks I run into.

    Thanks again for taking the time to help.   Really appreciate it.
