Can't Load Old Schematic

Former Member

I have a schematic I did 2 years ago and now want to edit, but when I try to load it I get this error message: line 16474, column 66: redefinition of name 'SUPPLY1' in tag <part>. How can I fix this (or bypass it)?

 

Thanks,

Greg

    Warren, I looked at it with FOXE as you suggested, but have to admit that I know nothing about XML.  I didn't see anything suspicious in the structure, it simply had 2 occurrences of 'SUPPLY1' in both the 'PARTS' and 'INSTANCES' sections.  It's not clear (to me) that the 2nd occurrence in one section relates to the 2nd occurrence in the other, but by changing the name of the 2nd occurrence in each section to 'SUPPLY31' the problem seems to be resolved.

    If you are inclined, how about uploading here the section of the XML

    from  (inclusive)

     

    Your solution is probably a safe fix but I would be interested in seeing

    the original corrupt code.

    Warren,

     

    Below is the <parts> section with most of it snipped out. Note occurrences of "SUPPLY1" near the beginning and end:

     

    <parts>

    Does this tell you anything?

    Thanks Greg

    The XML looks well formed. For some reason Eagle permitted a part of the

    same name or made an error when writing out during the save, Anyway your

    solution is fine.

     

    Since about v6.5 Jorge reports there have been more checks made when a

    board loads so maybe this is why it has shown up now.

     

    All the best

    Warren
