Capture CIS netlist error to PCB Editor

My schematic has a part U12 with duplicate pin names like GND on pins 2 and 4. When trying to create an Allegro PCB Editor netlist, I get an error message "Duplicate Pin Name "GND" found on Package LT3009_2, U12 Pin number 2: .....Please renumber one of these. I have done this in many previous schematics and can netlist fine into OrCAD Layout but the netlist into PCB Editor aborts and says to please correct the above error and retry. Is this duplicate pin name situation not allowed in Allegro? We are new to Allegro...

Thanks,

Sharon

If the pin type is power then capture will allow duplicate pin names. If it is not then you will get the duplicate pin names error.
