ERROR(ORCAP-36055): Illegal character in \ic (logic )\.

Mr Opamps

I'm having to migrate an OrCAD schematic that was originally layed out in OrCAD PCB to work with Allegro. I get the error

ERROR(ORCAP-36055): Illegal character in \ic (logic )\.  when I try and netlist but I need help in tracking down the illegal characters. I've searched the footprint names and I've searched a netlist generated for PADS2K so what can I try next.

 TIA, Oliver

    Open the PSTXPRT.DAT netlist file and search for the string, spaces and braces will be the issue when the netlister process built the "device" field, the RefDes will be listed for the part(s), you will likely need to change the file location stored in the Design Cache for the affected part(s), this may be down to the original library location, OLB file, or that the parts have been edited locally in the design, DSN listed as the source. In the Project Manager window, open the Design Resources "+" icons so the the Design Cache items are visible, Replace the symbols in the Design Cache so that they are sourced from an acceptable library path, restricting the path to names with a-z, 0-9 and underscore characters is preferable.
