Seems I've put a dimension on the top copper layer

e14 Contributor

Hi Forum,

Really new to Eagle, and it seems I've somehow put a dimension (DRAW+DIMENSION) on the top (copper) layer. Now I can't remove it. I've tried ripup and delete but the copper (if that's what it is remains. Can anyone help? The forum package does not allow me to attach the files, so I have attached an image - the dimension was a 2mm spacing check - it is situated just under pins 1 and 2 of the 6 pin JST-PH connector "MOT_IO" - top right of the board.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris

    Hi Chris,

     

    Is it something perhaps that might have been done during library component creation?

    If so, then it needs to be deleted from the library (it is not possible to delete it from the PCB layout if

    this was drawn in the package in the library).

    Hi Shabaz, the only component it is associated with is the JST connector - and I have used that a lot on other boards without the dimension being added, Is that what you mean - or that the dimension marking is somehow a component  in its own right?

    Thanks for the REALLY rapid response

    I'm afraid I cannot see what could cause this : (

    What happens if you click the dashed box icon, and then drag to select a group, does it become brighter red than the stuff that wasn't selected?

    I've tried creating a dimension on my copy of EAGLE, but I can delete it using the usual delete icon (the one that looks like an 'X').

    Selecting a group of parts does make it become bright red, which in my case means it should be deletable too.

    If in your case it becomes bright too, then that usually means it is deletable but that something else is being selected when you click near it.

    Also, If you select Info (the 'i' icon), does it display any information when you click on the dimension?
