Update PCB from schematic

Brian Rocks
Brian Rocks over 10 years ago

Inevitably in the course of working on the PCB layout I needed to make a change to the schematic. This is the first design that I've done with Orcad.

I got an error when placing a part and needed to update the schematic side - I needed to update a component.  Now I am unsure how to push this change to the PCB side.  I didn't really see this covered in the tutorial and I am afraid of screwing up the work I've already done.  So how does one push a change from the schematic capture to an in-progress PCB layout?

    So whenever I tried previously to regenerate the netlist files with the "Create or update PCB editor board" box checked it overwrote the CLOCK_INTERFACE_BOARD.brd file and I ended up with a blank board... Is that a separate issue that can be fixed?
