Parts not transferring from schematic to board

Make sure that they all have different designations and then compile before you add them to the board.  Not much information to go off of here.  Run us through your steps.

These are parts I created my self (diodes).  I placed four of them in a schematic with other parts.  I then updated the reference designators and compiled and placed on the PCBA with now problem.

Latter I copied a part four times in the schematic.  I then ran the ref designator update so they all have different designators.  I then compiled and updated the PCBA from the schematic.  I did the same process with two to other parts at the same time.

The four diodes did not appear in the PCBA but the other parts did.

Thanks for the help.

I think there are bugs here. 

But I managed to make it work.

It's related to when you copy parts in a schematic.  Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.  I found if I place each part from the library instead of copying in the schematic it works better.

Another problem I observed.  When parts are imported from the schematic to the PCBA sometimes the nets get confused.  For instance one capacitor will have the wrong net attached and the other capacitor will have no nets.  If I deleted those two components from the PCBA and then re-import  it seems to fix it. 

Hopefully 1.6 will come out soon and fix these problems.

I vaguely remember something like this happening to me while using Altium many years ago.  Each time I would update the PCB from the Schematics, the same parts would get erased and I would need to lay them out again.  It was quite frustrating.  In the end, I was able to fix it by resetting the Unique Id for each problem component.  Double-Click the schematic component and reset the Unique Id for each component that gives you a problem.  I haven't yet had this problem with CS but I expect that I will see it in the future.  I also make all of my components rather than use the ones provided.  Call it a sort of job security on my projects, if you will. 

I hope that I have been some help. 

I would recommend running the Components Links command in the PCB editor. This checks the integrity of links between the schematic and PCB components and allows you to fix-up any discrepancies.

That's very helpful.

It's a manual fix for the bug.  Hopefully they will fix the bug.

This will help if there is a part in the PCBA that is not linked to a component in the schematic. Which I have had trouble with  But I was having the problem of parts not appearing in the PCBA. 

Thanks
