Unable to change pad signal name connected to polygon

autodeskguest
autodeskguest over 16 years ago

I am designing surface mount proto-boards. (I will upload my library once

done.) I am working ONLY in Board for this project. In my package library,

I created parts with SMD pads and through-hole pads.

 

I used "Signal" to name and connect some pads GND. I also have a polygon

on the solder side named GND.

 

I am unable to rename any of the pads that connect to GND. If I unroute

the polygon, no air-wires appear to the pads. If I use "Name" and click on

a pad, I select the nearest routed signal, not the pad. If I add a signal

from one of the pads to another net (such as VCC) I am asked to select a

name for the "combined" net. Even if I delete the polygon, I get the same

results.

 

In the attached file, please note the 4 holes on the top and bottom edge

of the board as examples.

    Klaus,

     

    Many thanks to you and the others who contribute to this forum. I read all the posts to learn "fixes" before I encounter the "problem".

     

    Eagle has so much embedded power, yet is so simple on the surface. The underlying design is so elegant as compared to the Orcads and Altiums of the CAD world.

     

    Your support (and now my support, as well) will encourage more use and the continued success of Eagle and Cadsoft.

     

    Vielen dank!

    Jeff
