Pin Swap screws up schematic

e14 Contributor

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

    After a pin swap on a resistor, the nets will usually cross over each

    other to reach the other pin.  All you have to do is rotate the resistor

    symbol on the schematic 180 degrees and it'll be fine.

    Rotating the resistor did not work.  As a result of the lines crossed,

    the connections were no longer considered "connected".  I did find that

    moving resistor aside and moving it back "reconnected" them.
