hi,

over the day it didn't work (server breakdown?) but now it works again. I'm

sorry you cannot open the folders, they are at the moment only for teachers

& students (login required). I'll talk to the webmaster maybe he can make a

change.

Always use NET to make schematic connections.

 

The command names in Eagle are perfectly logical.  WIRE is used to draw

lines except when they respresent wires, then you use NET.

touche! That's good, Olin.

Jeff, Also be advised that CUT doesn't cut - it copies.

I'm also learning - I understand the explanation and agree that for

electrical connections NET is more convenient with "Auto End" and "dot on

junctions" but at the end of the project is there does not appear to be any

electrical difference in fact if I draw a new wire by itself then another

wire to connect into an existing NET it gives the option of using the new

Net$ name or adopt the name of the N$n to which we are connecting.

So in summary it would appear that if I had earlier in a project used wire

then I don't need to go back & redraw as long as the N$n ar correctly

connected.

Well that it how I see it and welcome comment.

This was an excellent question to be raised in the first place.

THX,

You have to learn this when teaching eagle in a technical school in

austria ( if you are interested in other documents: www.htlwien10.at

Hi R,

wanted to check the lin kwww.htlwien10.at , but it does not work.....

Net is for the electrical connection of parts, Wire is intended to draw

graphical stuff like borders for a partial circuit etc. The name is

ambiguous, also the layer 91 used for it.

The behavior is different from Net, so try the following:

open a sch

add 3 resistors (see screenshot "wire-tool")

use the Wire-button & connect R1, R2 & R3.

You will see:

no auto-junction, no auto-end of the wire, only 2x click will end the wire.

 

Now use the Net-button & try the same (see screenshot "net-tool")

You will see:

auto-end of the net & auto-junction

Excellent explanation. Cadsoft should use it in the tutorial, with your

permission of course
