Newbie here - why schematic and board foil don't agree ??

Question

I've inherited a design from someone no longer with the company. In CircuitStudio 1.5, I have a schematic diagram which doesn't agree with the PCB foil pattern.

The foil pattern is correct, the schematic is incorrect. Yet I'm not getting an error. I can't find a netlist output.

Can someone help? Thanks.

Can you be more specific about what's different?

If the schematic has been changed then it won't automatically update the PCB, you'll need to Project->Update PCB

But of course, save a copy of the original first. You'll probably need to reverse-engineer the PCB by inspection and modify the schematic until it matches.

How do you know the two do not agree - what have you used to compare and what are the differences? If you were handed the original project folder then there may well be a history of changes that could be useful. Do remember to keep a copy of the original and use a working copy for your investigations.
