David, I have had trouble with this a couple of times. You should check out the Designer Forum thread at http://forums.altium.com/forums/118354/ShowPost.aspx I apologize for being lazy.

Both schematics (the "channel" schematic, and the "top" schematic that references the channel schematic twice) and the layout are done in AD6.7 . (There are 2 separate "sheet symbols" on the top schematic. I find that less confusing than the "repeat" technique.) I select "Design | Rooms... | Copy Room Format", select the Left channel, then select the Right channel. I expected the randomly scattered components in the Right channel to change position so it looks just like the Left channel I've been working on. (And I thought that's what happened when I did it in this design a week ago). But today I'm getting this error message "Error (X) The Source and Destination Rooms are members of different Channel Classes [OK]". Exclaiming "No, they're not" and trying the copy again is ineffective. Opening up both schematics, doing "Project | Compile PCB Project", then "Design | Update PCB" gives the "No Differences Detected" message. Currently I can work around it by manually moving components around ... but why doesn't the "Copy Room Format" work any more? And what should I do to get it to work? -- David Cary http://protel-users.org/ ____________________________________________________________ You are subscribed to the PEDA discussion forum To Post messages: mailto:[email protected] Unsubscribe and Other Options: http://techservinc.com/mailman/listinfo/peda_techservinc.com Browse or Search Old Archives (2001-2004): http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Browse or Search Current Archives (2004-Current): http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
