[sdiy] Building parts in Eagle - continued

[Julian]

Again, I should first thank evreyone for the last round of responses.  Im gradually cracking things here, and am not far off having 
this simple pcb done!

However, i have yet another question (this time not related to building parts, but just about layout)

Im wanting to dulicate sections of a group of traces across identical parts of the layout (so as not to have to replicate it all by 
hand, which would make me go crazy!)

...however, when i paste in the coppied sections, into the right places (ie onto the duplicate pads) the guides do not reguster that 
the traces are connecting the pads.

If i were to make the pcb, it would work, but looking at it on the screen gets increasingly confusing, and, im sure, any error 
checking (which i havent yet started to use) would fail.

I can see how eagle, once you were over all its irritations, would actually turn into a very usefull device, but there are a lot of 
things that dont make it initially easy!
