I'm doing my first layout in Eagle and don't know to get right angle net connections (or bends at all in the connections) directly between 2 components. I had been dragging from component 1's pad, left clicking at where I wanted the intersection to be and then dragging to component 2 to make the right angle. Eventually I realized this was not connecting the components but making 2 floating wires. Saw a brief mention in an instructable tutorial online saying you control the angle of the bends in your connections by right clicking, but when I either right click the line that's drawn or the button for the net tool I don't get anything like that. The only way I'm able to link components directly is by dragging a net line directly between them and it draws a straight line with no bends. Thanks.
