Eagle import - netlist name problem

[Tom Virostek]

Imported a project from Eagle 5.x. Many of the nets have a forward slash '/' preceding the net name. The project was created before Eagle had the option to use '!' before net name to indicate active low signal.

Trying to rename a signal with a preceding forward slash using E, then replacing / with ~ (tilde) appears to work ok, but when net is highlighted, the slash remains part of the signal name.

Please attach the original Eagle Project files

Nevermind the previous request.

I think I see the issue. The '/' that you see in the netname when highlighted denotes that the net is at the base of the hierarchy. All of your nets should display this.

The nets that keep the '/' as the first character should show '//BANK1' as their net name. This means (confusingly) that the net '/BANK1' is located at the hierarchical base of the schematic.
