No way to use alt grid in route command in Eagle 8.2.2

autodeskguest over 8 years ago

Hello,

This worked in Eagle 7 but not anymore in 8.2.2.

It used to be possible change between normal and alternate grid in routing

pressing ALT-L key. This doesn't work anymore, ALT-L does nothing when routing.

In other commands, like MOVE and LINE, it still works.

How can I change between normal and alternate grid when routing?

Regards,

Hi. To switch grids in 8 you just need to use the ALT modifier key. There does appear to be a bug introduced in 8.2.2, using ALT to switch to the alternate grid whilst routing works in 8.2.1 but in 8.2.2 the grid shows as switching but the routing stays on the normal grid.

If you need to download an old version to workaround this bug you can do this from http://eagle.autodesk.com/eagle/software-versions.

It seems to be difficult to download the older version from your

Just to let you know that version 8.3 is out with the bug fixed so probably best to just go with the latest version now.
