Pin Swap screws up schematic

e14 Contributor
e14 Contributor over 14 years ago

I was doing some pin swapping on sm resistors at the board level.  When

going back to my schematic, those lines were now crossed and gave all

kinds of ERC errors such as net not connected, etc.  I ended up having

to erase and redraw the nets.  Is this typical or am I doing something

wrong?

 

Thanks

    Think about it.  How do you expect this to work?

     

    Maybe Eagle could have ripped up the immediate tracks to those pins, but

    this is where only you know what you want to do.  You wouldn't want Eagle,

    for example, to rip up the nets and auto route them without telling you.

    Doing nothing and leaving it for you to clean up is the best alternative.

    The DRC will make sure any resulting violations are caught for you to deal

    with.  That's a lot better then sortof fixing things, but not in the way

    you want, but nothing telling warning you of possible issues.
