Create traces from rats nest - all at once?

Is there a way to turn all ratsnest wires into traces? Doing them one-by-one is impractical…

Not as far as I know. The parts are arranged more or less at random (often on top of each other) by default and have to be moved in to the appropriate position. Then best practice (due to a bug we can’t yet reproduce to fix) is to do the complete circuit in one of the three views (breadboard, schematic or pcb) then route the other two views by clicking on rats nest lines and then routing the resulting trace as appropriate. Making changes in more than one view sometimes causes routing database corruption and the only known solution is to delete all traces in all views and start routing again.
