Terminal is inherited in switch master XXX and not inherited in place master YYY

The pins from extracted views are copied across from the pins on the layout view, so check pin (terminal) XXX on the layout view. If this has a net expression on it, then you either need to remove the net expression from the layout pin, or add the net expression onto the symbol pin. As the message says, it needs the terminals to be consistent between the views - if the terminal exists in both views, then they must both have net expressions or neither have net expressions.

Once you've fixed the layout view, when you generate the extracted view again, that should mean that the terminals on the extracted view are OK, and hence netlisting shouldn't give this error.

You didn't mention which IC sub-version you're using; this error message was introduced because previously when this situation occurred, the wrong netlist would be created and this could slip through without being noticed. I don't remember off the top of my head when the error message was introduced, but it was in the last couple of years (I think).

Regrds,

Andrew.

Thanks Andrew,

6.18 was the version, and the error was indeed the connectivity of that node. Pretty obvious when knowing what to look for I presume... 

Uploading a properties window for future reference. The Net Expression fields (marked) should be empty (in my case). 

Maybe I'm violating the posting guidelines, but I seem to fail to find a clever way to modify all layout pins with an existing netexpression. Do you have any tips? It would be a good extended solution to the issue.

No problem - it's all related to your earlier issue.

A couple of approaches you could take - the first step would be to use the navigator assistant (Window->Assistants->Navigator or pick an appropriate workspace that contains the navigator) and then use the "Pins" section of this to select all the pins. You can then either use the edit properties (Q) and you'll see a list of all of the selected pins on the left side. If you select the Pins (count) at the top, it will then allow you to edit them all in one go - for example:

Simply blank out the "AS IS" in the Net Expression and Default section, and that will erase the net expression for all the pins.

Or you could do the same with the Property Assistant:

Where it says "(various)" next to Net Expression, you could blank that out and erase all the net expressions for the selected pins.

Andrew
