From a current project Version 7.2.0, Eagle Hobbyist.
In schematic module (say "AB-CDEF-1") net name is "SW1". This is is visible and can be manipulated routed, changed, etc. as normal. in a PCB layout. It is always showing up as AB-CDEF-1:SW1
I want to add in a extra polygon and VIAS on the board (power plane) to this net. What do I name it?
I named it "SW1", and the result is nada.
I name is "AB-CDEF-1:SW1" and the result is violation of naming protocols, as ':' is not permitted.
I edited the XML file of the pcb board file directly and it failed to load, saying I changed its tags...
So what do I do with the two unconnected nets? Where do I put a VIA on a PCB that is connected to a network wire that is in the module ?
