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...

    No crashes on my windows xp. Are those junctions placed by hand?

    Yes - you need to manually create them (which is why I've never seen it crash, as I never create joins manually).

    Do you use NET or WIRE? With net the junctions are placed automatically. See

    the manual/online-help for details.

    The error is created when a junction is placed on a pin manually.  It will happen with either a wire or a net. Use net instead of wire. It works for me. Hope it will for you.

    I can't reproduce this. It's possible to place junctions manually on

    nets pin connections, not matter whether I use NET or WIRE.

    Using SuSE 12.1
