6.1.1 problems

I discovered the following problems/errors with 6.1.1. At least some ofthem were also present in previous 6.x releases.

 

1. Sometimes after modifying the board, while switching to another project, no warning is issued about an attempt to close the unsaved file and the file closes without saving. I cannot point out how to reproduce the problem reliably. It simply happens from time to time (once per week in my case).

 

2. In schematic, loose nets do not connect to pins while moving the device unless the device is really moved. In previous EAGLE versions, when you copy a net and place it at the device pin, it is not connected (ok); in order to actually make a connection one needs to select Move, then pick the device and place it in exactly the place it was before (empty move). In 6.1 the net will still not connect this way. It s necessary to actually move the object by non-zero distance. Easy to reproduce.

 

3. Loose, unconnected via placed on the board may autoconnect to the new net drawn later in schematic (without assigning a name to it manually). Happened to me once and I am not able to reproduce it.

    Hi Grzegorz,

     

    please post only one problem per mail !

    This makes it easier to track.

    We're only aware of a missing save warning in the library editor when changing the prefix.

    If you can reproduce your problem(s), please let us know.

    We are aware of that. It's on our todo list.

    Hmm, we need to reproduce it to fix it...
