Just updated to eagle 8. Now I have wire names all over my board?

Google was no help.

Yes, net names were added in one of the Ver 7 versions.  It's incredibly useful in IMO as I name important nets.

To turn them off...go to...
>Options
>Settings
>Misc
Then unclick display signal names

I agree. It was the best feature update in several years.

Thanks.
I agree they are really useful.
Just wanted to know how to hide them...when I want to.

That alongside the new "snap" feature when creating nets, i always have some components with awkwardly spaced pins so connecting them used to be a case of holding alt and struggling.

I suppose i could've edited the device but that would be far too pre-emptive!
