Draw Electronic Schematics with CadSoft EAGLE

Step 16Do Rule Check!

Do Rule Check!

The button shown does an electrical rule check. It will check whether the pins designated outputs are connected to inputs, whether there are obvious missing junctions, and stuff like that. When we run it on our schematics so far, we get a warning that the power pin named V+ on the 555 is connected to a net that DOESN'T have the name V+. We could fix that with the name command, or just leave it as is.

In general, you don't have to FIX every warning that shows up in a rule check, but you should understand what the complaint is, and have a good justification WHY you don't need to fix it.
