Update symbol with added pad

Leotordo
Leotordo over 6 years ago

Hello,

 I'm working with Orcad Professional 17.2.

I've a pcb 100% routed. I've to add a hole into a symbol.

I edited symbol in library and generated .psm file.

If I try to update (with "Update  symbol padstack from library") and a error occurs:

'SKIIP' symbol starting to refresh:

     ERROR(SPMHNI-271): 1 pins found in library symbol, but missing from the symbol in the physical design. They are:
            33

Anyone can help me?
Thanks
Stefano

    By the look of it, you haven't added a hole, you have added a Connect Pin. Since the Connect Pins are controlled from the Schematic, you will need to update the Part in the Schematic to Add this Pin and then load an updated netlist to use this footprint. (You will certainly need to do this if you want the added Pin to be connected) IF you don't need the additional Pin to be connected, you can delete the Pin Number Text from the added Pin to change it to a Mechanical Pin (not part of the netlist) and then you will be able to save the changed Package Symbol and update it in the board.
