swap/pinuse inconsistency.

Hi,

When I create a netlist in CaptureCIS I get following Error's: 

 #1 ERROR(SPMHNI-176): Device library error detected.

ERROR(SPMHUT-115): Pin 'GND' for function '74HC165_2_SO16_1_27X4_90_74HC16' on device '74HC165_2_SO16_1_27X4_90_74HC16' has a swap/pinuse inconsistency.

In the package properties window the pingroup has a zero at avery pin. So they're not swappable.
When I try to enter nothing and I click update, there's automaticly a zero.

Do you have any Idea how I can resolve this Problem?

 Thanks and Regards,

Meringues

    I am afraid that you have mis-understood "Pin Group". A BLANK (null) value means that the pins are not swappable, and this is the default, a value of 0 puts all the pins in the same "0" Pin Group, they have different Pin Types and therefore are inconsistent as fara as swapping pins are concerned. You will need to get to the Pin Group property values and delete them to remove the error.
