How do I sync removal of pin from a net between schematic capture and PCB layout

jaza_tom

I have two nets:  LED_3 and CHARGE_DISABLE.  They are connected to pins 14 and 19 of my microcontroller, respectively.  I would like to swap the pinout such that now net LED_3 is connected to pin 19 and net CHARGE_DISABLE is connected to pin 14.

 

To be clear, I want the following:
- Open schematic layout document

- Disconnect net LED_3 from pin 14

- Disconnect net CHARGE_DISABLE from pin 19

- Connect net LED_3 to pin 19

- Connect net CHARGE_DISABLE to pin 14

 

If I apply the aforementioned changes to the schematic layout document, there doesn't appear to be any way to import those changes into the PCB layout document.

 

What am I missing?

 

Here is a video showing my problem (note you may have to select a higher resolution in the video settings options to make things viewable on your computer)

    I tried the same operation with my CS and could not replicate your results.  Mine works fine.  I'm sorry that I could not be of assistance.

    Hi Tom, what you are doing looks to be correct so not sure why it shouldn't be working for you. Normally I run the Update PCB Document from the schematic but that really should not make any difference. A couple of suggestions.

     

    1. Make sure the schematic and PCB components are in sync using Tools | Component Links from the PCB editor.

     

    2. Make a backup on your PCB and then try Tools | Netlist > Clear All Nets followed by updating the PCB from the schematic.
