ERROR [NET0011] Netlist failed or may be unusable.

jimmymaci
Trying to make a PCB from a layout file.

I create a netlist and get the following error

I attached a screen shot of the connector but im not sure it will do any good.

what does the error mean

ive gone througha and redrawn the circuit about 5 times, tehre are no extra nodes or anything present that shouldnt be there

Design Name: H:\ELECTRICAL\SONOTHERM PROBE CABLE LAYOUT\INTERCONNECT\FORIGATE\JIM.DSN

WARNING: Name contains illegal characters 'HEADER 13X2', changed to HEADER_13X2

WARNING: Name contains illegal characters 'Sonotherm PCA', changed to Sonotherm_PCA

    Every Pin on the right hand connector has a DRC marker, could that be something to do with not generating a netlist? Which netlist format are you trying to generate? Zip the DSN file and attach it to the Post.

    From the data format, you are using version 16.2, or earlier, and trying to generate an EDIF netlist from the "Other" tab. The EDIF netlist has some formatting requirements, hence the "Illegal names" messages - but the netlister will handle that by removing the issues in the output data. The primary problem is that you have an invalid Reference for the Header part, valid references start with a letter, conventionally to indicate the part type, end with a sequence number and do not contain spaces. You have J2 for the second connector, J1 might well be an appropriate reference for the other.
