Troubleshooting Trace Routing
Thought for 39 sec
Flux routing only starts from a pad trace handle (the small white dot). If you are clicking elsewhere, it will look like you “can’t run traces”.
This is what the Flux documentation says about starting a trace (verbatim):
How to Start a TraceTo begin creating a trace:
- Hover your cursor over the pad where you want to start routing.
- A small white dot will appear on the pad—this is the trace handle.
- Click the white dot to begin routing your trace.
- Move your cursor to define the path. Click to add waypoints, and double-click to finish the trace.
Note: you can press the letter "F" at any time to change the direction of the trace angle (elbow).

If you are clicking the white dot on a pad and nothing happens, tell me what you click (pad, via, trace end, etc.) and whether you see the white dot appear when hovering.
