yellow X's on via's

The "X" is the visual indication for a "vertical" air wire. In earlier

versions, there was only a dot (line of zero length and width), which

was very hard to see.

Thanks, on a two layer board I don't understand why there would be a

vertical air wire though   I think routing vertically is taken

care of by the via!

 

Maybe you just overlooked a detail.

 

Does the X disappear when you run RATSNEST? If the nets are correctly

connected, it should.

Hi,

No the X's stay after ratsnest, I usually only get a couple every time

I route a PCB.

 

It would also be interesting to know after which operations (exactly!)

those crosses appear. Here they have always been correct so far...

I am pretty sure they mainly occur in the situation where I am routing

a track starting at a via, and eagle defaults the route layer to the

wrong one, so I manually switch back to the desired routing layer, and

eagle places a via on top of the one already there in this case.  Once I

delete one of the overlapped vias then sometimes there is an X that

doesn't disappear on the remaining via still   When routing from a via

I think eagle should use the currently selected routing layer as well.

cheers,

Jamie
