DRC exceptions not honored

passedpawn
passedpawn 13 hours ago

I want to allow duplicate pin names.  I get the error ORCAP-36041 when I do this, so I don't want errors for this. 

Adding this error to the DRC>Exception Setup list does nothing - the error still occurs and I cannot generate a netlist.  

What am I doing wrong?

    A Capture design cannot have parts that have visible pins with duplicate pin names. Only invisible power pins can have the same name, and they all connect to the same signal. If you have Cadence ASK portal access, then you can refer following:
