2.4.9. Rat line Objects

A rat line represents a logical connection that is not yet realized in copper. -It connects two drawing primitives. +It requires a loaded netlist for generation, and relies on calculations for any +existing coppre layers that connect terminals on the pcb-rnd board. Rat +connections are straight line connections between the terminals of any two +drawing primitives that aren't yet connected
