Board inconsistency -how to update?

autodeskguest
autodeskguest over 10 years ago

I'm experiencing inconsistencies with a board.

In the past I've simply deleted the board file then created a new one

from the schematic, but in this case I've spent considerable time with

the layout.

 

Is there a way to "synchronize" the board file with the current schematic?

    They are automatically kept in synch as long as you have both open

    whenever you make a change. Eagle defaults to always opening both (or at

    least offers to, you can sometimes say no).

    Yes, I know, but they have come out of sync. Probably because I disabled

    the board file (renamed its extension to ._RD) when I should have made a

    backup copy instead, replaced parts etc.

     

    Basically, I don't want to lose the board layout I have in that file,

    but want to update it to be consistent with the schematic. Is there a

    way to force a synchronization between the two?

    HI,

    if you run "ERC" so you get a list of the diffs between board

    an schematic.

    Then you can do the changes by hand. If you have done all

    errors the "ERC" make flags the board and schematic as sync.

    Yes, I do get several errors when pressing "ERC" in the schematic, such

    as consistency errors: "Part xx not found in board" and warnings: "Only

    one pin on net xx".

    So I go to the board, add the first missing component and naming it the

    same as in the schematic. I was hoping to see the wires magically appear

    but not so. And in the schematic I still get the same errors.

    How should I proceed?

    Hi,

    the Warning with one pin is in the schematic.

    Look at the Net "Show netname".

    If you see that the net is highighted and the pins not, move the symbol

    a little bit away and back to the Net. It will be connect to the symbol.

    (If not check Grid etc.)

    The wires will be "magically appear" in the board if you use "export

    Netscript"(Help Netscript would be your friend). Then run the exported

    script in the  board....

    You need to do this manually. You need to understand how eagle handles

    this. Note that when consistancy is broken, NO changes on either brd or

    sch is reflected on the other.

     

    -First, make sure all the devices are present at both schematic and

    board. Also make sure they have the same name (you can rename either on

    sch or brd to match)

     

    -2nd, for brd and sch, make sure the connections are the same between

    devices, and that they have same name. You can easily add and remove

    wires on sch, and on brd you need to use "delete" or "signal" (not

    wire!) to erase and add connections. Use "name" to rename on both sides.

     

    Do ERC now and then to check how its going. You will regain consistancy

    after ERC if no consistancy errors are found.

     

    Of course, if you have a very long list of consistancy errors, this may

    add up to some amount of work.
