Error Importing Netlist

Layout
1

Hey, I’m fairly new to KICAD. I have a project where I have successfully imported the Netlist and sent off a PCB to print successfully. But, now I need to make changes and add a few more components. I have added these to both the schematic and PCB with correct references. When I click on one of the components in the PCB editor, the schematic page even snaps to the right component.

However, when I try to read the new netlist that I saved from the updated schematic the following error is given.

  • Warning: component ‘U1’: board footprint ‘Housings_DIP:DIP-14_W7.62mm_LongPads’, netlist footprint ‘DIP254P762X508-14’
  • Warning: component ‘U3’: board footprint ‘Housings_DIP:DIP-28_W7.62mm_LongPads’, netlist footprint ‘DIL28’
    Error: No footprint defined for component ‘R9’.
    Error: No footprint defined for component ‘J4’.

    Error: No footprint defined for component ‘Y1’.
    Error: No footprint defined for component ‘C6’.

    Error: No footprint defined for component ‘C3’.
    Error: No footprint defined for component ‘J1’.
    Error: No footprint defined for component ‘R4’.
    Error: No footprint defined for component ‘C1’.
    Error: No footprint defined for component ‘R3’.
    Error: No footprint defined for component ‘C2’.

All of these components are indeed present on the PCB. Any suggestions?

Thanks

What version are you using? If it’s 5 try using Tools -> Update from Schematic

Check that all the listed symbols have indeed a footprint assigned to them: How can i assign a footprint to a symbol?

I’m using Kicad 4.0.7
