From an Integrated Library - the source libraries are extracted, the change is made, and the integrated library package is compiled to generate the revised integrated library.The nature of this source depends on how the component was placed: The logical place to make a change is at the source. More than likely, there will come a time when a change to a component is required - a new parameter added, a change to a model link, or maybe a change to a symbol or footprint at the graphical-level. You have placed components on the schematic, maybe even fully wired, compiled, and taken the design to the board layout stage.

That leads me to suspect that there's some problem with the way that I have my libraries set up, but as far as I can tell (from scrolling through the project configuration menus) my setup is identical to hers. They all seem to be "wrong" by some angle of rotation.įurthermore, my colleague can open the exact same project out of SVN and do the same procedure, and have no problems. When I come back and do the same update procedure again, I get N footprints that are wrong. If I press the button and execute the change, everything seems to work. Some further information: If I edit some of the footprints in the library and execute the same procedure, I get N + M footprints that need to be updated on the PCB. Is it possible for a PCB to point to a different set of libraries than the schematic? As far as I can tell, you can't set the libraries when editing a PCB, so that leads me to believe that it's inherited from the schematic. We're pretty religious about syncing/updating, so I think everything should be the same. I'm not quite sure what you mean - we use a shared integrated library that is synchronized via SVN.
