Global attributes not displaying correctly in PCB Editor -- Eagle 9.1.0

scott — Thu, 12 Jul 2018 17:44:52 GMT

Suddenly, with the release of 9.1.0, global attributes are not being resolved in the PCB Editor. For instance, I have an attribute called PCB_DATE. In text strings I have >PCB_DATE. Let's say the value of the attribute is 7/12/2018; that's what should display, and always has before. Now I'm seeing >PCB_DATE instead. When I right-click on the string, 7/12/2018 appears overlaid on >PCB_DATE for as long as I hold down the mouse button, but not permanently. Is there some new setting I'm not aware of, or is this a bug? Global attributes still work fine in the Schematic Editor.

Thanks,

Scott

Hi @scott,

I hope you're doing well. This is a known bug, it's been reported and the developers are working on it.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Version 9.1.1, just released, doesn't fix this.
