gEDA-user: manage changes
Hello, I previously generated a pcb board. then, I had to make a lot of changes. So, I copy the previous .sch files into new ones, and created a new project with the new files. Now, when I generated the new pcb (gsch2pcb) I lost all the benefits of my previous pcb (I mean, I need to restart form scratch). How can I generated the new.pcb file including my changes ? It means the difference between the new pcb and the old one ? thank -- --- == Patrick DUPRÉ | | Department of Chemistry| |Phone: (44)-(0)-1904-434384 The University of York | |Fax: (44)-(0)-1904-432516 Heslington | | York YO10 5DD United Kingdom | |email: pd...@york.ac.uk == ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

How can I generated the new.pcb file including my changes The refdes and footprint has to match, or else it is thrown out by gsch2pcb. So you can edit a copy of your pcb to get those matching before running gsch2pcb. Sometimes a text editor is easiest for the footprint part of that, but just use pcb to see the topology that compares to your new schematic and redo the refdes's in pcb. Save versions along the way... John -- Ecosensory Austin TX ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
