Copy wires with group must retain the net name

e14 Contributor
e14 Contributor over 15 years ago

Copy wires with group must retain the net name, as Copy Wires without group.

EAGLE Help : "If you copy wires or polygons, belonging to a signal, the copy will belong to the same signal."

 

Currently, When I copy a group of wires, the duplicated nets are renamed by eagle and I have to rename manually one by one each wire with the original net name. The same for copying a group of vias.

Wasted time :o(

    original net name. The same for copying a group of vias.

     

    Actually the effect that a copied wire belongs to the same signal

    or net as the original is something that needs to be fixed.

    So it's the other way round.

    I don't agree. Both ways are useful, especially on sch.

    Why not an option : "Retain net name of copied wires, vias or polygons" ?

    This is how Mentor Design Capture does it.  I'm not holding them up as a model, but I like that feature.  I think OrCAD keeps the net name the same UNLESS it ends in a number, in which case in increments the number.  That's a nice feature too.  I don't know a good way to create buses in Eagle.

    Why not this question right after "Paste" button has been pressed?

    Depending on the situation, you will want this or not.

     

    Requesters are not wanted in general (because you dont want interruption

    when running scripts).

    But a modifier key for "keep names" would be nice.
