We have an odd problem that has effected both Eagle 4 and now 5. We
have two computers, our main computer is the one that we wish to do layout
on, and we have another computer that we don't really want to do layout on.
The problem with our main computer is that the schematic auto junctioning
does not work. Regardless of the state of the auto junction check box, the
schematic will never place a junction on its own. However, on our other
computer it works just fine. For Eagle version 4 we left it that way,
running it only on the computer where auto junctioning worked, but when
version 5 came out we decided to try it again on the main computer. When
we did that, we get the same result, auto junctioning will not work. The
last experiment I ran was like this:
I opened a design in Eagle 5, I turned off the auto junctioning, then
saved all and exited Eagle.
I relaunched eagle and opened the same design and verifyied that the
auto junctioning was turned off and did not work. I then turn auto
junctioning back on and saved everything and exited eagle.
I then relaunched eagle, opened the same design, and then verified that
auto junctioning was turned on - BUT it was still not working.
Any thoughts? There is nothing special about the computers, they are
Intel processors running Windows XP, with NVidia Gerforce 8600 GT series
video cards. Thanks for any help I can get.
