Ok, I'm a little stumped as to what is going on. Can you try this test... Open a terminal window, then cd to the directory with your schematic. Start xgsch2pcb from the terminal: xgsch2pcb project_name.gsch2pcb When you hit the "update layout" button, are there any error messages seen on the console? (Paste the output back to me by email please).
