-- Cut here -- From: Xtian Xultz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The best way to do it, IMHO, is by maintaining a up to date letlist ever. Thats the way I do. When I do some modification on my schematic, I update the netlist with a gnetlist -gPCB -o netlist_file.net *.sch and then reload it in the PCB. If theres a new component that PCB doesnt have, it will tell you on the log window, and a lot of other erros, like if you put a new component and name it with a name that still exists, and so on...
