Hi thanks for the quick reply. Opened the file you sent back, clicked the GF seed C1 pin1 expected to see GF seed pin1 of R2 turn yellow but didn't. Apparently it did for you.
1. I read you don't need traces for GF seeds. But if I set traces only on the bottom layer to all seeds and then ground fill, it seems to work, get islands, all GF seeds light when one is clicked, etc. and all orange traces disappear on top, top-bottom and faintly appear on bottom view.
2. Still wonder why ground fill seeds after ground fill do not turn "green" to show they are connected.
3. Though ground fill and seeds seem straight forward and simple (clearly not for me) I looked for tutorials to no avail and examples of circuits that I did find were not helpful
Thanks again.
