Parts added to schematic do not show up on board layout in EagleCad light 6.4.0

Question

I am using the Eagle 6.4.0 light version and created a schematic and PCB layout a few months ago. I just recently returned to this schematic and opened both the schematic and the board layout. I then added a few components to the schematic but the board layout did not pick up the parts that I added to the schematic. Is there a way to get these parts added to the board as well so that they are tied to the schematic? thank you

Hi japper,

there seem to be different situations at pins and referring pads. The message tells me that there is a net with name N$50 assigned to pad 2 (in the layout) of J3. In the schematic the referring pin is pin2 and there seems to be no net connected.

Please check the layout with SHOW N$50. Is this net highlighted? Did you display all signal layers before you deleted the signals in the board?

Regards,
Richard
