so i am trying to use Eagle (latest freebie version 4.16r2)
to create a small schematic of an old PCB.
( 4 ICs, 5 resistors, 12 buttons, couple diodes/ caps/ ribbon
connectors)
i added the components to the schematic and started wiring (with
problems)
Problem :
i can draw wires but the wires do not stick predictably to the
components and how do you join the wires ???
EG. i draw a wire to connect several components (i.e. component
pins) then i try to move some of the components and for one the
wire sticks and will follow the component wwhen moved but for
another it leaves the wire behind ? when i try to fix by
re-dropping or moving the wire to the connection it does not stay
again
when i try to oin wires to others it does not seem to work ,that
is i can drop it onto the wire and it looks connected on screeen
but if you move the connected wire the joined wiree stays put and
will not follow move thus not connected.
what am i doing incorrectly ?
