Hi Chad,
I am confused = by the UBUNTU geda tutorial.
In the beginning R101,= R102 and R103 are placed together. On page 6=C2=A0 R102, R201 and R103 are= placed together in the same place and R102 is placed where R201 was before= .
I have other problems - fx with lines created in = PCB - but I would take one example to see if the confusion is my problem.

Hi Torben-

The second time you run gsch2pcb it looks at the diffe= rences. 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 t= hat it doesn't overwrite your original file. To get them into the layou= t, you have to do as it says: open the layout then go to the file menu, sel= ect "load layout data to paste buffer", and select board.new.pcb.= Then you can paste them into the layout.

Alte= rnatively, if you haven't done any work on the pcb yet, you can delete = board.pcb and board.new.pcb and rerun gsch2pcb.

Al= so, make sure that you execute Select > Disperse All Elements, as someti= mes the elements will overlap when they're brought into the layout.

Hi To= rben-

Welcome to the community! Please feel free t= o post any questions you may have.

I think the= issue is that the CONNECTOR is no longer an m4 element, so, it's not g= enerating it the way the tutorial thinks it should.

Looking through the pcb element footprints, there is, however, a foo= tprint "CONNECTOR 1 2". I suspect that will serve for your purpos= es. Please try changing "CONNECTOR 2 1" --> "CONNECTOR 1 = 2" and see if that fixes it.

Thanks,

Hi,
This is my first attempt at using = geda-help.

When in the Bill Wilson gEDA tutorial I use:

gsch2= pcb project

I get the following message in the log:

CONN202: = can't find PCB element for footprint CONNECTOR-2-1 (value=3Dunknown).So device CONN202 will not be in the layout.

The attributes of the= connector are.

device: BNC
footprint: CONNECTOR 2 1
refdes: C= ONN202

I think that I have followed the instructions, so what is wro= ng?
best regards
