I have been playing with Eagle Lite for over five years and have not yet
figured out what the Optimize icon (in the board editor) is supposed to do
or how the Optimize command is supposed to work. I read "Help Optimize"
again today, and looked in the manual. The text is plain enough...
and then I tried over and again to join two wire segments on a PCB.
Nothing happened. I am left with an airwire.
Is there some special case or circumstance besides requiring the lines being
the same width and in the same layer? I can't do anything with it. Very
frustrating.
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Does Optimize work for other users,
or is that little icon sitting on my Eagle PCB console a Cadsoft prank? Naah
that couldn't be, and yet...
Thanks for any advise.
