Refresh board from schematic

autodeskguest

 

How can I update the current board when I've done changes in the 

schematic? I.e. when I delete a part in the schematic, it's still visible 

on the board.

    schematic? I.e. when I delete a part in the schematic, it's still

    visible  on the board.

     

    It means you have not the backannotation on !!!!!

     

    Please don't make any changes until SCH and BRD are loaded and the FB

    annotation is on. If you start the ERC check you get the info the board

    and schematic is consistent or not. If not you lost the FB annotation

    some time ago ....

     

    Best wishes

    In other words, it's going to be a pain if your brd and sch files lost

    consistency and you've made lots of changes! Never make changes to the

    schematic when the board is closed, or vice versa, unless you have

    specific reason to.

     

    The best way to do it is to create a project folder and right click that

    project folder (red) and click "Open Project". In this way Eagle

    remembers your window size and position and automatically opens the brd

    and sch files together.

     

    Do NOT close either sch or brd windows. They must both remain open

    while working. When you are done, go back to the Control Panel, right

    click the project folder, and click "Close Project". It will ask if you

    want to save.

     

    If you need to view 2 schematics at the same time, or find yourself

    switching b/t schematics, open 2 instances of Eagle instead.

     

    If you want the board and schematic to regain consistency, there are 2 ways:

    1) Manually fix everything in the erc

    2) With the project closed in Eagle, Delete the brd file (you will loose

    any work on layout!!!) and then open the Project in Eagle. Click the

    button to switch you to the board, and it will ask you if you want to

    create one from the schematic.
