Re: [PEDA] 2004 netlist revisted
Thank you Bob and Phil, I feel less insane now. I alos tried everything . I even did control C , control V on the lib name and carefully re-pasted in my netlist. Ian, this should answer your question about my typo. The only thing I didn't yet was follow my process of clearing the netlist first, then loading a clean one in. I have been doing this religiously on 99SE and have never, ever, ever had a hic-up. I am going to save the pcb, the netlist and the libs in their un-altered format and will re-visit it in a few days. If I dont figure it out, then I will forward it to Protel. I still have to get this design done so the changes I make to it might not allow the problem to show up again Thanks for confirming that someone else has seen similar problems, Im not totally nuts Mike Reagan Phil, I can add that this has happened to me too, hasn't been very recently though. But in my case it was not a netlist load it was from a schematic, it would not load parts, tried like crazy to figure out what happened. I did close the ngo back in and it did eventually work , but never really figured out what exactly cuased it to work. Again not sure if the close and open of program was what did it. Libraries were good and correct just would not do the update till much playing around.

In fact it just happened to me (again) not 5 mins ago. Add a few parts to the schematic, work awhile, make some changes, do an update PCB, and the new added parts are not brought in. I believe I also got a dialog message, something or other about being unable to execute ECO?... The message once it starts happening is very repeatable. Close everything down, restart DXP, then it works just fine, no more message, no more problems. Sounds like a similar problem, so my guess is it is not you. It will be unfortunate if this problem has persisted since SP2, Through the SP3 PR, and on into P2004. It seems to happen frequently enough that it should have been found and fixed by now. Like I say I've seen it happen at least twice now, just in the last week. ---Phil e It is now afternoon, the netlist I received this morning is e obsolete. No problem. There are only changes are 4 footprints, e SO8 TO SO14. I can handle that I boast to the customer. I modify e his netlist accordingly. Cough Cough Choke, 2004 will not update e the parts no matter what I do. I shut everything down, bring it e back up and one part is updated to S014. This can not be me. e Is there anyone out there that has actally done this proceedure e 100 times and not just read about it? It has to be buggy if only e one part changed.

[PEDA] Design rules transfer to 2004 DXP
Hi, I have installed protel2004 and opened a 99SE project. The rules are not transferred at all. I wonder if someone knows how to transfer rules along the PCB.
