I have a question pertaining to a schematic and artwork for a PCB.  On the
PCB there is a transistor, in it's place I want to place a resistor.
Physically on the PCB the resistor is placed in pin 1 and 3 of the
transistor pattern, there is no artwork change.  On the schematic I put a
resistor symbol where the transistor was and it's connections and remove
the transistor symbol.  Is this a correct way of doing this.
Also on the assembly drawing there will be a note to replace VR1 with R14,
install in pins 1 and 3 of the VR1.
  What I want to do is replace a transistor and in it's place put a
resistor.  With the note on the assembly drawing of the replacement that
would take care of the problem.  On the schematic I just put a resistor
symbol where a transistor once was.
I am told that the schematic should reflex the placement of the resistor
into VR1 position by the engineer and I don't believe this is correct
because the schematic is only the electrical representation and not the
physical one.  I would like your opinion.
                                                        thanks,
                                                        Vic
