What's the matter with this pad?
« on: November 02, 2015, 05:20:48 pm »
Look at the pin 2 of R10 in this picture:



As you can see both pin of this resistor are connected to lines but when I want to update the PCB, I get this message:



WTF |O

Double-click on R10, then hit "Edit Pins" in the bottom left.  My guess is that you don't have a pin 2.

Actually, this appears to be a PCB footprint problem.  Can you show a picture of R10 on the PCB?

If R10 on the PCB does have a Pin 2, you might try deleting R10 from the PCB and then re-syncing from the schematic.

How could I do it?
Thanks for reply

Did you create the footprint for R10?  If so, just go edit it in the PCB library and update.  Otherwise, click on R10, and hit delete.  Then just go sync from the schematic back to the PCB and it will re-add R10, hopefully correct this time.

The most intersting point about this footprint is that I have used it for other parts as you can see and there is no problem for other parts.

Are you sure that I have to edit it yet?

you may have accidentally changed the pin number on the pcb.

oh and one thing : NEVER EVER edit the pins in the schematic. using the suggestion raised here. You are just asking for unexplained misery.

I deleted it(R10) at schematic and copied a new one from other parts and again got that error. :(

Of course it won't find how should pin 2 be mapped to PCB because your footprint does not have pin 2 from the very beginning.
What do you mean "your footprint does not have pin 2 from the very beginning"
Would you please more explain what's the problem exactly and How to solve it?

Also check that the pin isn't inadvertently swapped end-for-end on the schematic symbol. Which of course it can't reconcile properly to the footprint.

Had a colleague that kept creating schematic symbols with the pins "wrong side out", then complained what junk Protel was.

Yes, the pins on symbols are a bit counter-intuative. Learned the hard way!
