Board inconsistency -how to update?

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....
