Floating Copper Detection Help
Worked for 2 mins 3 sec
I checked the current project state, and the current Floating Copper review is passing — it shows “Floating Copper” status: Success right now. The review system in Flux is the right place to confirm this kind of issue, and it reports the floating-copper check as up to date.
That said, your project history does show an earlier floating-copper problem associated with
What this usually means
Trace auto, and the disconnected items tied to that earlier state were around:A Floating Copper error means there is a PCB copper object with no real net connection:
- a short stray trace segment
- an orphan via
- a tiny isolated fill island
In PCB view:
- Click the review item for Floating Copper / Trace auto.
- Zoom to the flagged object.
- If it is a stray route stub or tiny orphan trace, delete it.
- If it is supposed to belong to a net, reconnect it so it touches the correct pad/trace continuously.
- If it is an isolated fill island, either:
- remove that fill piece, or
- make sure the fill is actually tied into the intended net.
Important note
Because the current review now passes, the problem may already be fixed, or the flagged copper object was removed/changed since the error appeared.
If you still see the review entry in the UI, refresh the review panel or click back into the PCB canvas and re-check it. Flux’s review system is the authoritative source for whether the floating copper still exists.
If you want, I can help you narrow it down further by checking one suspect area at a time, starting with L1 and the 12 V output section.
