Can't edit board

Former Member

Hello,

 

After creating my PCB and routing some wires, I changed some connections in the schematic and added a few more parts. When I go editing my board, it automatically places all new parts at the axes origin (one on top of the other) but when I try to move them, it doesn't let me. EAGLE always says that I am placing the parts outside the PCB area, even when I do it properly. I can't move any other part, or wire either.

 

I unrouted everything, checked the PCB limits for the Light edition and still not working. Could anyone help me on this?.

    I have never experienced such issue with professional version since 6.0, regardless of grid dimensions. I tell you this because on the light version you have limited dimensions.

    My problem that time was that I had edited the board with the smallest resolution the first time, saved it and closed it. Then, when I reopened the program, it did not automatically set up the grid to the lowest resolution value, so the objects couldn't be moved. It was more of an attention problem than a bug or license limitation (I am aware of those). I don't know whether this was Robert's problem though.

     

    BTW I only tried the Freemium and Light versions. Maybe it doesn't happen with the full version as you say.

    Hi Guys,

     

    Don't use the Finest setting, as long as the grid is set to a non-zero

    value everything will work. This can especially problematic if you're

    working with the schematic.

     

    See the EAGLE cheat sheet www.cadsoftusa.com-> Downloads -> Documentation.
