Eagle - redraw airwires after loss of consistency?

[whitecollar]

Hi all,

I have a project in eagle where I temporarily lost consistency between my schematic and board. I have now added the correctly named parts to my board so there is an exact match between the schematic and board.

However, there are around 60 airwires I would have to manually re-draw. This is a real pain ... I have not routed any of the board yet, so how can I just force eagle to redraw all the airwires that are missing?

Many thanks,
Andrew.

Fixing inconsistency between the schematic & PCB is tricky - it is best to avoid getting into that situation in the first place by keeping both open at all times.

Having replaced the parts to the board and run a consistency check, what report do you get?

By the way, nets can only be added on the schematic, I believe, so you need to delete the connections on the schematic that don't exist on the PCB then check consistency. When it is OK, redraw the nets on the schematic. Depending on your PCB, it may be easier to simply re-create the PCB.

One thing I have never done, which may work is to export a netscript from the schematic (without the PCB open). Then import the netscript into the PCB (without the schematic open).

Just tried it - it seems to work (even if you don't close the schematic/PCB). After exporting the NETSCRIPT you need to RUN the SCRIPT in the PCB rather than import it. That re-creates the connections at the PCB level.
