Netlist error

JohnEE
JohnEE over 10 years ago

I've gotten the following error when generating a netlist on a schematic.  It goes away if I delete the part in question, but comes back if I add that part back to the schematic.  An earlier version of the schematic with the same part goes through the netlist creation without any errors.  Any idea what is causing the problem?

Thanks,

John
