Subject: RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] You guys are good...how about another Eagle one? The case of missing components

From: "Jan Kok" <kok@...>
Date: 2004-02-12

when routing had started, but here's the bad thing...the component
was still missing from the schematic. I then promptly got the error
message that the schematic and boards didn't match, that no
forward/backward annotation would be allowed, and that my first born
children would be found and executed. Okay not really...just the
first parts.



As the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy said on the cover in large
comforting letters:



DON'T PANIC



:-)



It's been several months since I've used Eagle, but here is what I
remember about fixing "out of sync" problems. Once the board and
schematic get out of sync, the two parts don't talk to each other; they
each go their separate ways. Get the ERC report. Delete (from
schematic and/or board) the parts mentioned in the ERC report that don't
match up. Save the board and schematic. Exit and restart Eagle. If
you removed all the inconsistencies, then the next time you load the
design, the board and schematic will be automatically re-connected and
things will be back to normal. You can then add back the deleted parts
to the schematic, and they will appear in the board display, unplaced
and unrouted.



Cheers,

- Jan
