turning off some of the airwires during board layout in EAGL

Hi there,

During the board layout, I want to get rid of the airwires that are connected to GND. Is there any way to do that without turning off the whole “unrouted” layer? Thanks

Yes - search the help for the ‘hide’ command. I think that is what it is called.

If you have EAGLE version 5.x (5.4, 5.7, etc), then enter on the command line: ``` rat ! 'GND' ``` Note the use of the "!" char to hide an airwire. To show the GND airwires again enter: ``` rat 'GND' ```
