bug while selecting a sheet with ':' in sheet description

kikoun

Hello,

 

I encounter a little bug in the 7.1 version of eagle.... ant this bug can easily reproduced :

-> create schematic. and a new page.

-> edit the description of the page (right-click+ Description, in the sheet tool bar.) and give a description with the ':' character (example "SUPPLY: part 1").

-> then display a other page.

-> if you wish to display the page with a ':' name, 2 options:

   * You click on the thumbnail of the corresponding sheet of the 'sheet' tool bar: that option work fine.

   * You select the sheet in the list of the 'action' tool bar : and there is the big problem. Instead of opening the corresponding sheet (example "Supply: part 1") eagle open a new empty document.... image

 

Eagle is a nice boy, before opening this new empty document,  it will ask to save the previous document if it was not saved, and if the board corresponding to the previous document was open, It will warn us that no forward-backannotation will be performed... really nice, but I think that I didn't ask for a new empty document....

    Don't use : in sheet names. These are used to define sheets that belong

    to modules. Using it in the way you mentioned confuses EAGLE. Use a

    different character such as -,_, etc.

    Hi Jorge,

     

    Thank you for your response. That's I have done, for avoiding this bug.

    But in that case, is it possible to have an error message when we give a name with ':' or the best would be to have no way to enter that character (like when we rename a net, forbidden character can not be enter).

     

    Thank yo Jorge.

     

    Guillaume.
