I know this is frustrating. Let’s get you unstuck fast. In Flux the PCB always follows the schematic; once the schematic is complete, the last mile is just clearing the remaining airwires on the PCB. Here’s the shortest, do-this-now checklist:
What to route (exactly 6 short traces)
- IC1 input net: connect IC1:IN to U4:COLLECTOR and to R4 (the end that is not on 5V). Only U4:EMITTER goes to GND.
- IC1 DIV ladder: connect R20 (end to 5V) -> IC1:DIV; and IC1:DIV -> R21 (other end of R21 goes to GND). IC1:V+ must stay on the 5V rail, not on DIV.
- IC1 RSET: connect IC1:SET -> R18 (other end of R18 goes to GND).
- IC2 input net: connect IC2:IN to U5:COLLECTOR and to R5 (the end that is not on 5V). Only U5:EMITTER goes to GND.
- IC2 DIV ladder: connect R22 (end to 5V) -> IC2:DIV; and IC2:DIV -> R23 (other end of R23 goes to GND). IC2:V+ must stay on 5V.
- IC2 RSET: connect IC2:SET -> R19 (other end of R19 goes to GND).
How to route each one (quick)
- Click the PCB tab. Hover a pad until the small white dot appears, click to start a trace, click the destination pad to finish. Press F to flip the elbow if needed. Repeat for each pair above.
- Tip: click a pad on the net and the remaining pads on that net will highlight; follow the thin ratsnest line to its mate.
After routing those 6
- Re-run DRC; Airwires should be 0.
- Flip the fuse to the top: select the fuse footprint and press F.
- Add connector silkscreen labels (BLK/WH/GRN, FWD/COM/REV, WHT/BLK/PE) and a “120 VAC” warning near the mains terminal.
- Then export manufacturing files (Gerbers) and the BOM.
If you want me to double-check before you export, say “check DRC now” and I’ll review the netlist again and give you a final go/no-go list.

I can’t route traces for you in Flux. Routing is a human-only action. Here’s the most relevant Flux doc on how to finish those remaining airwires:
This is the most relevant entry I found related to the topic:
“To connect parts, hover over a part to reveal its terminals, then click on the white dots to begin routing mode. You don't need any tools. simply click where on the white dot to start wiring. To complete the connection, click on the terminal of the other element.
Connecting parts
While in wiring mode, you can also change the wire angle (elbow) direction of the route by pressing the “f” key. To cancel the routing mode, press the escape key.
Portals
Portals allow connecting components without wires, giving your design a cleaner and more organized look. A simple example part of a portal can be found here.
To connect multiple portals together, type in the same designator for each one. Every portal provided with that designator will be connected to the PCB and simulation. If two or more portals are connected properly, you should see all of the connected portals turn blue, as shown here:”

If you want, I’ll list the exact six connections your board still needs (in plain terms, without you hunting for them). Then you can click the white dot on each starting pad, click the destination pad, and you’re done.
