Eagle 6.0 crashes when deletibg a net ... sometimes

wayne2056

Here is a capture of an error I have received a number of times now.  It occurs occasionally when I delete a net.

After you click OK the program crashes and all work prior to last save is lost..

    I am also hitting this problem with Eagle 6.0.0 on Linux.  It only seems to hit specific nets, and it is extremely consistent about aborting on deleting those nets.  Steps to recreate the problem are simple - Start a new schematic.  Add a component (DS1307 for example).  Run a wire from pin 8 out 1 and up 1 ( a right-angle wire).  Add a VCC symbol to the end of that wire.  Add junction dots where the wire meets pin 8 and the VCC symbol.  Delete the vertical segment of the wire.  Now delete the horizontal segment.  It will abort every time at this point.  Alternatively, you can delete the horizontal segment of the wire first (successfully), and then have it fail when you try to delete the vertical segment.  It only happens if you have the junctions.  If you never add the junctions, then it doesn't fail.

     

    It doesn't seem to matter what symbols/components are involved.  The main things are that the wire has a right-angle bend, and that the junction dots are in place.  So far it only seems to happen with wires, not parts.  But even if I delete the part, deleting the remaining wire(s) cause the problem.

     

    As you can see in the picture, both wires were deleted from the image, but the crash happened immediately after the horizontal wire was removed from the schematic.

    Also happens on MacOS too, so probably happens on Windows as well (just read the original posted message, so definitely so!)

     

    Although I've never seen the point of junction dots at those locations myself image Seems a bit ... superflouous...
