I have just finished working through the "Getting Started" tutorial in 7.9.5
Here's the Scenario:
Now I want to "experiment" with that layout, so I used the File/Save a Copy command in Expedition, and called it "Experimental"
(that command loads a small dialog box from the Job Management Wizard)
Then I loaded my copy and right-clicked in the navigator pane to change "systemdesign" (the tutorial project) to "Experimental"
(I renamed BOTH the board and the schematic, since "systemdesign" was used as a board name and schematic name)
I ran Verify, and Update and Package, no errors
Here's the Symptoms:
When I load the board in Expedition, first it says "Unable to locate root block systemdesign in schematic, Forward Annotation will be required"
(which seems reasonable)
but then when I select "Forward Annotate" it says
"Cannot access the module that manages the PCB and schematic data interchange"
and then
"The root of the design has been changed, This change can seriously affect the PCB design"
Here's the Questions:
What is the "serious affect" mentioned in the warning?
Should I have done something differently?
Why didn't "Verify", "Update Symbols/Objects" or "Package" notice anything wrong?
Finally, I went ahead and performed Forward Annotation to see what would happen,
and it asked me to check a few reports "PCBlogfile.txt" and "ForwardAnnotation.txt"
Can you view log files from inside DXD/EE or do you have to find them in the file directory somewhere?
thanks,
Jack (aka "the new guy")
