===List of EagleCAD "gotchas"=== I promised I would post my list of "gotchas;" hope this helps avoid some irritation! [[User:Jtfoote|Jtfoote]] 23:38, 27 April 2009 (PDT) # IF BOARD AND SCHEMATIC GET OUT OF SYNC, YOU ARE SCREWED. This can happen if updates on the schematic don't make it to the board. To avoid this, always keep board file open when editing schematic, and vice versa! Use "rip up" instead of "delete" on the board. DRC will tell you when you are not in sync, otherwise you won't know. Use it often, and save often. # Don't click on "Drop" button when adding a component. Hit "cancel." "Drop" "drops" the library (!) # tOrigin layers must be visible to move/rotate components. # Overlapping wires sometimes don't logically connect. Add junction (green dot) if a problem. Check by moving component and seeing if wire moves with it. # "Cut" (scissor icon) is really "copy to paste buffer" and only works on groups! Use "copy" for single items. In V5, use shift-right-click or menu item to copy/move groups. # Pay attention to messages in the status bar, they are often helpful. For example when trying to select things on top of each other, clicking will cycle through each and the status bar will tell you how to select the one you want.
