in V6.0.0 manual routing got really hard

Because this is a fairly UI independant operation, I would imagine it's across all operating systems (so I'm not surprised to see it in Linux).

 

The video should show that it's Mac OS that I had originally found it on, but I'm sure if Jorge wanted to know what platforms it was failing on, he would've asked

 

It doesn't happen all the time, and it did take a while to come up with an example that is guaranteed to fail. It normally occurs when you're being complacent and not expecting it to happen.

 

As I wrote it was meant in general. (And not for this special case

only). Sure cadsoft asks about details but then they have to wait for

the answer which can take long wasted time. Is it really so difficuilt

to mention the os? I'm also looking for a fast solution on the v6 trouble.

Gentlemen, so far I have followed all this postings and noticed that

there is is very little information about what machine and operating

system you are using.

I think to mention this would be a great help for cadsoft in eliminating

these errors.

I don't have this error on my windows xp sp3.

 

Using the files linked-to in this thread I can reproduce the fault under

Eagle 6.0.0 and Eagle 6.0.2 in Windows 7 x64.

I was also seeing this leftover airwires problem on Linux x64 (but with

a different (production!) board) using 6.0.0.

The exchange of messages in this thread, between Jorge Garcia and Jason

Tribbeck, suggests that the developers have all they need to be able to

reproduce this.

Hopefully 6.1 will nail it.  Hopefully soon!

I'm also seeing this bug with EAGLE 6.0.2.

Having used v6.0.0 to manually route a small board recently I can

confirm that this problem is highly annoying.

Ok, so are there only few people notising this problem? In my company we've bought 5 new licenses for eagle v6 just before it went out. Now im wondering if that was a good idea. We could have bought a floting licensenses of full featured altium for that price... I like eagle but how can you make a product worse with the new release?

Sorry for another post but I forgot to mention my system: Windows XP SP3.

This doesn't limit to snapping to pads but into "stubs" too. If I have a

track that connects pin A to pin B and I ripup a part of that wire, and

then start to draw net from pad A into the stub, eagle doesn't snap to the

stub. It took several ratsnest commands to get eagle to snap into the stub

rather than into grid. I.E. for some reason eagle wants to snap into grid

and not that stub cap that's not on the grid. In 5.11 this was never an

issue. In 6.0.0 random ratsnest commands seem to fix this momentarily.

No problem!

http://www.tribbeck.com/misc/Test5_11_0.zip is the URL for this.

It's not an exact match in terms of the original layout, but it behaves exactly the same when loaded into 6.0.0 (can't manually route after rotating Q1), and works correctly on 5.11.0.

btw, I used to run the support team for my company (which is also a software developer), so I know how useful it is to have these kind of files for developers. I'm now one of the developers (I was beforehand - just my project got cancelled, and they needed someone to run support...)

No problem, Jorge.

 

Do you still want a V5 version? (Now I'm at home, I've got time to prepare one as well).

 

The only other issue I've got is a MacOS X one, which I posted in the "Is there a list of open issues?" thread. That one shouldn't be too hard to see and fix But I'll leave that for you to comment on that thread instead of this one (I know you're reading this one, so it's really just a bit of a prompt!)

 

Hi Jason,

If you don't mind prepare a V5 variant and put everything together in

the test.zip file that way the developers have access to everything and

we can make they're jobs as easy as possible.

I'll go look at the other thread.

Thanks again.

Jorge
