I’ve recently upgraded to eagle 5.0, so I’m not sure if this is an Eagle bug or something I’m just not understanding.

Wire width is 10mils - if a draw a random wire anywhere on the board there’s no issue, but if it comes from the middle pad on this SOT-23, then it gets flagged with a width error. DRC is set at minimum 10 mils. I can bump this guy up to 12, 16, 20 mils and still get the same error. Any suggestions?
Thats weird. I can’t offer much help but how much of a change is 5.0 from 4.x?
5.0 seems to have a few glitches here and there, most notably it crashes on me if I take a library I’ve already used in a session, modify a part in it, and try to open the lib again. Other major new change seems to be attributes, which seem pretty slick but I haven’t messed with them much yet.
You unfortunately can’t take a schematic back to 4.16rc2 after you’ve opened and saved it in 5.0. At this point I’m just going to ditch the sot-23 part and go with something else (didn’t like the part anyway).
I’ve also noticed weirdness with the copper fill border lines - it will give me this same “width” error until I crank the line thickness up to 50 mils or so. Hopefully it’ll all get ironed out.
