Lost names

e14 Contributor

The names of several connectors on my board have disappeared and I can't

manage to get them back. The names do appear on the schematic. The

Properties menu displays the correct name for the part. I've

tried smashing and unsmashing the parts but that did nothing. Even after

deleting a part and adding it back to the schematic the part name does not

appear on the board. The symbol name in the library is in the correct layer,

95 Names. I've used these parts in an earlier version of this design and all

the part names were displayed correctly. Any suggestions?

 

I'm using Eagle Lite 5.10.0.

    have you checked that the '>name' text in the package is placed in the

    tNames layer?

     

    Perhapse it's in a different layer you had activated in your old

    design but not in the new?

    Mystery solved. Another stupid mistake. I had made a new package variant and

    neglected to copy the name text.

     

    Thanks for your suggestions.
