Netlisting Schematic Part with no pins

Try with the part fixed in Allegro then import netlist.  Make sure that Ignore Fixed Property is not checked.

 I am not sure exactly what you are saying.  I thought the Fixed Property was in Allegro PCB.  I am talking about generating the schematic in Allegro Design and then creating the PCB netlist.  

 I guess I could instantiate the schematic symbol in Design and load the footprint manually in PCB, but that defeats the purpose.  

 OK.  What are you using for schematic (OrCAD Capture or Allegro Design Entry HDL)?  And, what version of the tools are you using?  So, you are adding a zero pin part in the schematic?  And, you want that part to be included into the netlist for Allegro?

I am using Allegro Design Entry CIS. 

The version is SPD 16.01.  

I have created a schematic symbol that has no pins and only text to be added to the schematic.

I have created a "Footprint" that contains text on the Top Etch layer and text and shapes on the Top Silkscreen layer.

I would like to have the netlister load the footprint in the PCB when it is instantiated in the schematic, just like other components. 

 Hmm...the only way I can think of is to use NC pins property to this bogus part - this is required for the part to be "placeable" in Allegro.  Otherwise, even if a mechanical part sucessfully made it into the netlist, then Allegro PCB Editor would not allow you to place it since the part is mechanical (i.e. has no pins).  The drawback by adding NC pin is that when you run drc then it will say that one is unconnected.
