Hi Torben-
The second time you run gsch2pcb it looks at the differences. The first
time it may not have picked up all of the elements due to footprint name
errors. The second time (and all subsequent times) you run it, it produces
board.*new*.pcb, which contains the new elements, so that it doesn't
overwrite your original file. To get them into the layout, you have to do
as it says: open the layout then go to the file menu, select "load layout
data to paste buffer", and select board.new.pcb. Then you can paste them
into the layout.
Alternatively, if you haven't done any work on the pcb yet, you can delete
board.pcb and board.new.pcb and rerun gsch2pcb.
Also, make sure that you execute Select > Disperse All Elements, as
sometimes the elements will overlap when they're brought into the layout.
Cheers,
--Chad
