Activity 1: Restore synchronization between two designs

Expand the Fusion Data Panel , browse to Samples > Electronics Samples > Synchronizer Tutorial, right-click Tubescreamer C Electronics Design, then click Open.

You should see that the companion documents for Tubescreamer C schematic and board also open. Warning messages appear that synchronization has been lost between this schematic and board.

Click File > Save As, then click the Location arrow and select New Folder.

Provide a descriptive name for the folder, then click Save. This action saves one of the three Tubescreamer files.

Use the same Save As method to save the other two Tubescreamer files in your new folder. This action ensures that you will not change the original files, which must remain unchanged for other users.

Along the top of the canvas, click the tab for the schematic to open it.

In the toolbar, click Validate > Synchronize .

The Synchronizer opens, showing Tubescreamer C Schematic as the Source document in the left column, and Tubescreamer C Board as the Target document in the right column.

Between the two columns you see green plus signs beside devices and nets that are missing from the target, but will be added if you synchronize the two documents. Red minus signs mark components that are added to the board and will be removed by synchronization. Not-equal signs indicate devices and nets that are modified in the target. These will be restored to their former state if you synchronize.

After reviewing the proposed synchronization changes, if you want to modify the board with these changes, click Run in the Synchronizer.

You may need to run the synchronization more than once to make all the changes. Eventually, running the Synchronizer from the schematic document should show no changes to make, or small corrections to do manually.
