Synchronizer on the Schematics with modules

[deepak_elango]

Hi,

I had created a Schematic file with modules to implement hierarchical design, unfortunately the Synchronization has been lost between my schematic and board so now I am stuck with fixing this issue.

I happen to know there is Synchronizer feature in the Schematic but I cannot run the Synchronizer, the Run button was disabled .

Is there any limitation like we cannot use Synchronizer for Schematics if it has modules?

Kindly give me a solution for this issue

Best Regards,

Hello @deepak_elango,

I hope you're doing well. The synchronizer doesn't work on schematics with hierarchy it will actually make the inconsistencies worse, that's why it's disabled. Remember that it is vital to keep the schematic and board open together at all times so that changes can track.

In your current situation, you have to fix the inconsistency manually. Run the ERC and then correct the consistency errors. If you don't see any there, then I'm going to ask you what is the inconsistency you are perceiving specifically.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,

I've got the same problem. I had saved a module for a portion of a board. I opened that module and saved it as a new board. Now the PCB and schematic have completely lost synchronization. I removed the module, but synchronizer still doesn't work! I added another connector, but it doesn't show up on the board at all, and I can't convince it. I really don't want to have to start again, the pin placement is quite a pain.

So I went in the Design Manager on the PC board, found a few pins that had different net names and manually changed them. Now Synchronizer would run. After that the new connector showed up.
