Board inconsistency -how to update?

autodeskguest

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?

    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.
