Unexpected behavior of EAGLE layout editor

SMD111
SMD111 over 8 years ago

The problem I have is described in the attached images (they are zoom-able).

I have a finalized, fully routed design:

image

At some point I decided to add a new gate to the schematic, so I copy IC5 and paste it as IC9. Please note that no connections on IC9 have been made yet:

image

Simply placing this gate on schematic causes significant changes on the board. As you can see, multiple nets become ripped up, even the nets that have nothing to do with IC5 or IC9.

Is it possible to avoid this effect?

Thank you,

Sergey

    Isn't this the simple effect that filled new (implicit) nets gets an

    airwire as you present a new gate with implicit power?

    Pressing ratsnest should leave you with only the airwires for IC9?

    Yes, and I believe it should not be so, because the power pins of the new gate are not yet invoked on schematic.

    Pressing ratsnest should leave you with only the airwires for IC9?

     

    That was what I expected, but instead ALL power traces get converted to airwires, even without pressing the ratsnest.
