Eagle net names?

[danrogers]

Hi all.

I have a simple question relating to net names. I have opened some schematics (open source stuff) and the nets have had their names displayed in text.

I have always manually added my net names with the font tool, but the differences are that if I delete a net from my schematics the name stays, but in the other schematics the name stays. I can't work out why this is... both names are on the same layer, and I can't see any options to display the net names as text?

Hope that makes sense!

many thanks

I don't understand your question.

We use Eagle a lot @ Ikalogic, so we should be able to help. Can you post that schematic file that is causing the pain?

You want the "label" command, which is explained here:

Does this help?

Great, thank you - the label command was what I needed

Thanks again
