How do you use an Eagle Junction?
You can add one manually:
- Select the Junction icon on the left-hand side of your interface.
- Left-click on the intersecting point between two nets where you want to add a junction.
- This will open up the Connect Net Segments Dialog, confirming that you want to connect (merge) two nets.
What is wire stub in Eagle?
A “wire stub” is a bit of routed copper that goes nowhere and serves no purpose. They often occur if you disconnect something then reconnect it a different way… but leave a tiny fragment of the old route lying around.
What is an Airwire in Eagle?
Zero length airwires If two or more wires of the same signal on different routing layers end at the same point without being connected through a pad or a via, a zero length airwire is generated, which will be displayed as an X-shaped cross in the Unrouted layer.
What are wire stubs?
In microwave and radio-frequency engineering, a stub or resonant stub is a length of transmission line or waveguide that is connected at one end only. Therefore, stubs are most commonly used in UHF or microwave circuits in which the wavelengths are short enough that the stub is conveniently small.
What is an air wire?
Airwires are to be seen only in the layout view (PCB). They represent the electrical connections (signals) between pads and often intersect each other. They are disentangled later by the use of the autorouter or by manual routing. A multitude of airwires are called ratsnest.

What kind of wire do you use in Autodesk Eagle?
There are two kinds of wires in Autodesk EAGLE, the standard Wire, and the Net. But which do you use when creating connections between your symbols? Here’s how it works: You don’t want to use the Wire icon when adding nets to your schematic.
Do you need to connect anything to a no connect pin?
Don’t connect anything to it, and nothing will be connected to it, and that will be obvious in the schematic. There really is no need to do anything more. No, the DRC (Design Rule Check) doesn’t care at all whether pins are connected.
Do you wire up symbols in a schematic?
The only reason to use the Wire option is for adding detailed line drawings to your schematic. You do want to use the Net icon to wire up your schematic symbols. This will always be your go-to action when you need to connect your symbols together. This can be a tad confusing at first, but use the icon symbols as a visual guide.
What’s the best wire bend angle for a net?
By default, all of your net connections will use the Wire bend style 0, which is a 90-degree bend, which is fine for most schematics. However, you may want a 45-degree bend angle for your net. To do this, select the Wire bend style 1 and then add your net as described in Step 2 above.
