V8 Overlapping parts

autodeskguest over 9 years ago

With Eagle V7 and below one could select a part and then use the mouse

or pop up menu to select the next overlapping part.

I am not seeing that option any longer? There is no Next on the menu for

example.

I've just tested out and can confirm that I no longer see the "next" option
so if I have things which are close to each other and the wrong thing
selects I don't seem to be able to get to the next selection option.... Is
this an unforeseen consequence of the new selection mechanism? I'm sure
removal of this is unintentional....

I think it must be unintentional too, the help file in v8 still states that the feature exists.

Hi Guys,

If you are using the new group selection mode, the cycle selection is
done by holding down alt and then left-clicking mutliple times to cycle
through the nearby items. The last one selected gets added to the group.

Let me know if that works for you.

Best Regards,
Jorge Garcia

Hi Jorge,

I just tried this on my MacBook Pro and it's working fine on the track pad now..... The only thing is I did have EAGLE crash and quit itself while testing this out. I have tried to replicate the crash but as yet I can't get it to crash again. I will continue to see if I can replicate this issue. I'll also try on the iMac later and see if the original issue can be replicated for a video.

Best Regards,

Rachael
