[sdiy] Eagle woes, was: Free CAD

[Mikko Helin]

So Ingo and all other experienced Eagle users please tell us how to
make sure the connection on the Eagle schematic drawing is really a
connection and not just looking like it.
One way I've used is to try moving all the parts to see if the
connections follow but there must be other ways around it.
