Wire width in Eagle layout editor

av8or1
av8or1 over 10 years ago

I have been using the free version of Eagle for evaluation for a couple of weeks now.  Although as a software engineer I am disturbed by how freqently Eagle crashes without any recovery, I decided to support the product and bought a license.  While working with the free version the wire widths that I had in my design were shown in what I presume were inches.  The wire widths were:

 

0.254 0.3048 0.4064 0.6096 0.8128 1.016 1.27 1.4224 1.6764 1.778 etc.

 

But now when I right-click on a wire and left-click on Properties, I see the values in what appear to be mm:

 

0 0.01 0.012 0.016 0.024 0.032 0.04

 

The wires don't appear to have changed really of course, and these numbers are equivalent.  However, I want to go back to the other unit system.  I have searched the help docs within Eagle, online and played around with options and such for a couple of hours now.  Cannot figure out how to change it back.

 

So the question is: how can I do this?

 

Thanks!

    Thanks. Yeah I tried that but it doesn't do anything. Only affects the dimension tool.  What is odd is that I have another board in the same project but yet this behavior doesn't repeat when I edit that board,  and I can do it without restarting eagle!  Strange!

     

    Anyway. Thanks again. Maybe something will break in the next couple of days.

    Hi,

    (Or you can just type grid on the command area, and the same window will pop up).

    Yup, you are correct. I played around enough today until I figured it out. Thank you for the reply!
