ECO problems in PADS 2005

[popoyboys]

i have experienced components being moved to another location or swapped location with another component after doing ECO to PCB in PADS v2005.. may i know why this happens? what are the possible causes and fixes for this type of error?

did u test that?

Human Error...

Check your settings...
Check your ECO do's and don't

and most of all try to change nets one at a time... because ECO don't know what you have done in between. If you change all the nets at the same time you are just moving the whole components around...

Note:

One at a time!!!!

Hi

You can try version 2007, it' better than 2005. Also, you can look at the ECO file before import it into PADs to see if you can delete components that you don't want to move.

Hope this help.

Instead of blindly back annotating just read the eco file before importing to PCB. And give only what you really needs to change and delete remaining things. Thats always a safe one.

i forgot to mention that i have done swap reference designators in the schematic (Logic) prior to doing ECO to PCB.. and the result is that component's location are also swapped in the Layout which I don't expect..
