Deleting a Route
Once the route has been completed we can delete either the full route or a specific part of the
route if we are not happy with the placement. Let’s assume that we were not happy with our
placement of the last piece of track (upwards to pad 1 of JP2).
Start by right clicking on the track over this segment of track. This will highlight the entire track
and the Delete Route option near the top would then remove the complete trace from the board.
However, we have far more control if we use the options at the bottom of the context menu. In
this particular case, select the Trim to Single Segment option; this will change the selected area
of track to the segment we have clicked on.
