gEDA-user: PCB: Lost custom element data when file is reopened ? Bug ?

2007-08-28 Thread armdeveloper
I spent the morning making 4 new elements. PCB worked great. I saved my work every 5 minutes. I closed PCB. I regenerated the netlist from the schematic due to a change. I used gsch2pcb myfile.sch to regenerate the netlist. I opened myfile.pcb with PCB. My custom elements are missing.

Make sure the description field of the element matches the footprint name, and that the refdes is the same. Those are the fields gsch2pcb uses to determine if an element doesn't match the schematic. You can change the description by View-Description then n to rename it. Save that .bak0 file

I suspect that gsch2pcb overwrote your project file. Did you save the custom elements individually? Have you looked to see if you have a backup project file? myproject.pcb- for example. Steve Meier On Tue, 2007-08-28 at 10:39 -0600, armdeveloper wrote: I spent the morning making 4 new
