Rats Nest Disappears when Dragging Components

If you are working with a large pin count BGA you may want to increase the PCB.ComponentDrag.ConnectionLimit.

Prefs > General > Advanced > PCB.ComponentDrag.ConnectionLimit

The Default is 50 . . . Try 500

It would be great if Altium could automatically adjust the Connection Limits to support large BGAs.

Altium introduced a new feature in AD19 to re-route moved components, which is causing the rats nest to disappear. You may want to uncheck that new Interactive Routing feature.

Prefs > PCB Editor > Interactive Routing > Component re-reroute.

That's it !
