Issue with Test feature
Verfasst: Mittwoch 23. Oktober 2019, 09:03
Hello
I have recently reproduced a large PCB from 1983 which is pretty much finished, but the Test feature seems to be acting strange. I will try and explain using some shots of a part of the board.
Here is the sprint view of the top of the board:

And the section of the board in photoview:

If I select one of the GND pins with the test probe, the software correctly lights up the entire GND plane (Which is correct):

However, if I then select some other via/track, it lights up correctly, but so does the entire GND plane also (U1 pin 2 selected):

Surely that shouldn't be possible? Because if those are connected then it should have lit up as well when I clicked GND at the start?
I would appreciate if anybody has any suggestions of what could be happening here please?
NB: This does not happen on a previous similar board I created in Sprint, the main difference is that on this board I drew everything without masks and added a mask to the entire board (both sides) once everything else was complete.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
