Eagle - finding open nets in layout

Hi there,

If I have a dense layout, and am missing a connection between two pins, how is this found other than scouring the layout looking for airwaves? DRC shows shorts, but not open connections.

Thanks.

In the Display panel on the left sided toolbar, turn off top and bottom layers and turn on the unrouted layer. This will display unconnected nets more clearly.You can save this display as a preference by right clicking on the display tab and giving it a name. When you want to go back to it, right click on the Display tab again a choose it. I have saved displays for several different options: components/traces, traces only, unrouted, silkscreen, etc.
