Yes, but doing so seems necessary to keep track of all the parts and placements. There doesn’t seem to be any way to search for and highlight one particular part or connection. Even connecting a resistor backwards puts the views out of sync with each other.
…select the part you are having trouble with and delete all connections to it in all view until you only have ratsnests. Delete extra rats you don’t need. Start connecting the part with solid connections in the view you are working on, and trust the rats in the others.
That’s precisely what I have been doing. But it never stops. The environment is clumsy enough without deliberate move/connect tools - but I have parts moving and connecting by themselves. My method is to always start with the schematic and treat that as the authoritative version. All I have “modified” on the breadboard view is gradually making the same connections that already exist on the schematic. What I need is a way to prevent ANY automatic connections, and ANY parts from moving. Why doesn’t the lock function work? Why are parts becoming wired to the perfboard when those connections were never specified anywhere?
I need to cool off for a few days and try again.
