Hi all, I am really hoping that a Cadstar guru out there can help me with this problem.
I have two different schematics, each with their own unique PCB. I want to combine the two existing PCB layouts into a single new PCB layout.
Here's the problem: there are common component designators between both schematics. For example, there is a diode D1 in schematic/PCB #1, and a diode D1 also in schematic/PCB #2. This is the case for several hundred component designators on both boards.
I've tried to combine the two schematics together, which changes the component designators for schematic #2. As a result, when I try to stitch the two PCB layouts together, I'm unable to generate an ECO update, since the component designators no longer match.
Has anybody had this problem before? I'd appreciate *any* feedback that might help me solve this problem.
Thanks in advance, minus3db
