Are you using "File->Load element data to paste-buffer", or
              "File->Load layout data to paste-buffer" ?

(You want the later, and may get errors if you try the former).


Your existing layout should be in CPLD.pcb, with elements which are to
be added being dropped into CPLD.new.pcb.

If CPLD.pcb loads OK, you can probably move CPLD.new.pcb away, and
re-run gsch2pcb to try to get it to re-add any missing elements.

In any case, take a backup of the project directory before trying to fix
this.

Best wishes,
