Ratsnest means that you have thin lines indicating which pads need to be connected. You can see them here: https://librepcb.org/features/board-editor/board-bran

You start out the board deisgn by orienting your parts in a way that there are as few intersections as possible. Then you draw the connections, and the ratsnest lines disappear one by one. If you have intersections, you need to route around the part, or work with multiple PCB layers to get rid of them.
- civilitty 3y agoMore representative sample of a ratsnest showing just a fraction of a board: https://cdn.vidyard.com/thumbnails/TdqAcWKgxGMwyKOQEtyTBg/26b10808a409f025d9f9ff.jpg https://cdn.vidyard.com/thumbnails/TdqAcWKgxGMwyKOQEtyTBg/26... At that point "as few intersections as possible" becomes a bit of a lark and to maintain any semblence of sanity you have to prioritize connections, hiding all other nets.
