Hi,

I'm wondering whether there is a clean/easy way to
do the "Import schematics" but only import the
incremental parts  (the difference).

Example:  I create my design in gSchem;  then do
"Import Schematics" in PCB Designer, and work on
it  (place components and complete the routing).
Two scenarios:

1) At some point, I realize that there was something
missing;  I would like to add it in gSchem and then
import that added part into the already worked PCB
design  (and then I readjust as needed inside PCB
Designer).

2) At some point, I discover some mistake I made (a
"bug") in the circuit;  I would like to fix the mistake
and then import the modifications only.

I can (sort of) do that with a text editor to manually
modify the .pcb file --- but it's tricky and susceptible
to human error.  Can this be done "cleanly" through
gSchem + PCB Designer?

Thanks,
Carlos
