EAGLE how to move components between sheets without rerouting?

I seem to remember that just moving parts to another sheet was a pain in the ass...

I think you can do what you want if you close the routing view, move the parts (being sure to keep the U? and R? assignments) and then open the routing view and check things to make sure the views are consistent.

Franco,

Try asking over in eagle.support.eng or eagle.userchat.eng at news.cadsoft.de.

Ok, thanks for the answers. I am gonna try the trick Hal pruposed. It sounds logical.

Best Regards...

Franco.

Try keeping everything in one sheet then. Eagle is a big pain in the butt. Have you tried PCB123 schematic/layout software. Looks like an eagle clone with no # of layer restrictions and with a better gui, plus you order the board directly from the software, no gerber file hassles...

Many will say that's NOT a "plus" for an ECAD package.

no gerber file capability so that the app is not lock-in-ware. There. Fixed it for you.

Have you tried it yet? I downloaded and installed it yesterday and it looks OK doesn't have an extensive library yet, but the footprint editor looks easy enough. I was looking for something free to try out besides Eagle and Kicad that can do multi-layer pcb's.

With rare exception, I have found TANSTAAFL.

gEDA is free. I've got a four layer board in fab right now, done with gEDA/PCB.
