Default Net width

Hello!

 

Somehow my Eagle draws Netwires with a width of 0. This is super thin, too thin. As far I can remember it should be 0.006.

 

How can I change it back to 0.006 instead of 0?

 

"Change width 0.006" in eagle.scr only sets the width for Wire not for Net.

 

I tryed some other options in eaglerc.usr like Sch.NetWireWidth="0.006" without success.

 

Does anyone have an idea?

 

Thank you.

After selecting the net tool, you pick the width before you draw. Some

nets belonging to classes may change width as you start drawing, but I

think this is not the case for you.

If you want to change existing drawn stuff, use "group" and "change width"

I should add, use projects. Don't just open the .sch or the .brd by

double clicking. If you start by creating a project, then always use

load project upon opening, the used widths (and other parameters) will

stay with the project. Yes, you can move your existing sch and brd to a

new project.

Hi Morten,

thanks for your quick answer.

You say:

Where can I do this in 7.6.0? Withhout rightklicking the existing Netwires?

A wire is a net that that is stand alone. The only difference between

wire and net is when using the net drawing tool, it will attach to an

airwire. A wire will just create its own netname and if you end it on

top of a different one, there will be an overlap issue. You can rename

the new wires to an existing netname and it will become part of that net.

You can also start drawing a wire EXACTLY from a net (pad or

net/wire-end), and the wire will become part of that net.

Set the default net wire width with:

SET NET_WIRE_WIDTH 0.006in;
