Identify ghost pad

I've drawn up a library for a new part. When I connect the symbol to the

package I see a supplementary pad to be connected. I can not see it in

that package drawing, but like to eliminate the part.

 

Supposedly I can identify something in the drawing with the show

command. Unfortunately the precise syntax seems convoluted enough as I

seems unable to even show stuff I can see and click on.

 

for example: show 'smd: 8' should highlight pad 8, but I get a popup

with 'smd: 8, not found'.

One thought:  Is it possibly on a different layer ?

I didn't thought about layers. What if I want to search across all

layers ? After all, I know the objet name !

eagle names pads like P$2 if you don't override that manually.

So 'show P$8' may do what you want.

I think I've found what happened. I can not be sure because in the end I

scrapped the stuff and started from scratch.

However, the pins were called '1', '2', etc. The string 'smd: in front

was not part of the name but part of eagles's prompt in the status line.
