Warnings of Creating a Netlist

Andrew2

Hello, I used computer A to draw a circuit. All the thing is done and create netlist is successfully.

Then I turn to computer B to creat netlist, using the circuit I draw in computer A.

But don't know somehow there are a few of warnings occur showed below.

 

#1 WARNING(SPMHNI-192): Device/Symbol check warning detected. [help] WARNING(SPMHNI-194): Symbol 'CAP_35' for device 'C_CAP_35_200UF' not found in PSMPATH or must be "dbdoctor"ed. #2 WARNING(SPMHNI-192): Device/Symbol check warning detected. [help] WARNING(SPMHNI-194): Symbol 'SM_C0805' for device 'C_SM_C0805_100NF' not found in PSMPATH or must be "dbdoctor"ed. #3 WARNING(SPMHNI-192): Device/Symbol check warning detected. [help] WARNING(SPMHNI-194): Symbol 'CAP_5' for device 'C_CAP_5_680UF' not found in PSMPATH or must be "dbdoctor"ed. #4 WARNING(SPMHNI-192): Device/Symbol check warning detected. [help]  

WARNING(SPMHNI-194): Symbol 'MIL-STD-202' for device 'SGL41/SM_MIL-STD-202_1N5824' not found in PSMPATH or must be "dbdoctor"ed. 

 

Is there any way to solve it?

  

  • "Symbol" in this case means "footprint files", specifically the DRA and PSM files for the symbol and any associated PAD files for the padstacks. If you don't get these messages on computer A, it has the the files and the PSMPATH and PADPATH preferences set to find the required files. In PCB Editor, you can check / set these Path Preferences from Setup>User Preferences, Paths group, then Library, select the relevant browse button to open the settings and check "Expand" to see the details of the entries.

  • Hi Andrew, You should copy those "physical symbol/footprint" file names with .dra and .psm extensions.

    Place them at computer B where your project/worklib ->project name-> physical folder (paste .dra and .psm)

    Launch project manager->open project-> tools->set-up->click tools and you will see the PCB Editor Setup-> look under Paths menu where library paths then select psm paths directories. Manually callout the exact location of your .dra/psm, click OK and Apply/OK.

    Refresh your cadence tool again and try to package or create netlist. It should be working fine.

    Cheers!
