Orcad netlist error caused by duplicated pin name

kevinwinder
kevinwinder over 9 years ago

Some old orcad allows duplicated pin name on lib. but the newer orcad does not.

It is very time consuming the pin name one by one.

Is there any way to ignore the duplicate pin errors?    

Any other method is welcome

    this is really undesirable and bad. If I do for example USB Jack symbol with two pin names named "D+" but different pin numbers, why would CAD tool prohibit me from doing this?

    Developers should fix this ASAP. Duplicated Pin *NAMES* should be allowed, I am ok with no duplicate pin *NUMBERS* being allowed, but what's wrong with having same pin names? I need duplicated pin names with "Passive" property!
