Unable to backannotate, need help

DanielAmir

Greetings,

 I am experiencing a problem while I am trying to backannotate the swapped pins to the schematic. It keeps complaining:

"Unable to backannotate the changes to design file "\ABCD\.DSN" because the original design file used to create the board has a different name "ABCD.DSN". Choose the correct design file and backannotate again."

But I have used the same file to create the PCB and I don't have  any idea where those "\"s are comming from. Does any one have any idea?

Thanks,

Daniel

    Can you provide some details of which exact version and exactly which tools you are using?

     Also zip up your .opj file or take a screen shot.  Sounds like whitespaces and slashes have gotten muddled up. :(

    Hello Daniel,

    How are you doing? I encountered same problem as you mentioned in this post. I guess there is a "." in my design file name. but I don't know how to make it works. How did you made this works?  any suggestion is appreciated.

     

    Best Regards,
