How do I display net names on a schematic page?

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

I have other schematic capture cad programs I have always given custom net names to all nets and shown most on the schematic.  This helps me check my work and allows for improved understanding of the routed PCB.  In addition, it allows me to give identical net names to nets that are not connected visually on the schematic if I so choose.

 

How do I do this in Eagle?  I have searched and not found an answer. 

 

I would hope to do something like right click on a wire, then see an attribute to check like "show net name".  But I do not see that. 

 

Thanks . .

    In my current version of Eagle (6.5) when you right click on a wire or net, the pop-up menu allows the net name to be displayed,  modified or labeled.

    As mentioned by Joern - the label command (available from the right-click menu) allows net names to be continuously displayed.

    I might add that the mentioned "right click menue" imho depends on a

    setting in the eaglerc.usr file.

    (ToggleCtrlForGroupSelectionAndContextMenu)
