>From the output, it doesn't appear to be trying to re-add the components it deleted either. I wonder if it plain can't find them on disk anymore, or if there is some other problem with the design not matching the PCB board. The output might suggest that the netlist / parts list produced by your gsch2pcb.project isn't actually matching your board. Do you have multiple schematics or hierarchy in the project? Check the resulting netlist, are all components appearing to show up, or are some missing? Do you get any errors in a gnetlist.log? -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
