Re: [kicad-users] Re: Reading Netlist In PCBNew

Hi Fred,
 
I think that the compile refreshes the "ratsnest" connections.
I have changed my schematics and the changes reflect so this does work.
1) Change schemetic.
2) (Re) Generate netlist in schematic.
3) Add components if required.
4) Read netlist in pcbnew.
 
If I re-route with DRC OFF then sometimes connections are not seen.  Then press "compile"
 
If component has duplicate pin numbers then pcbnew gets confused. 
 
Regards
Derek

Hi Derek,

Thanks for your response. I had tried the "Compile" button earlier
but just to make sure I tried it again. It made no difference in
the assignments to the original assignments that were made to the
component pads. These assignments were made when I first created
the design and nothing seems to change them.

By the way, what is the function of the "Compile" button in
the "Read Netlist" dialog box?

Fred
