Component Device Pin Number Mismatch; Cannot Replace

Obviously the Altium part is 'pin labelled' different than the Orcad footprint. The Altium netlist should be editable (e.g. text file), so look up U11 in the file and see what they label the pins as (maybe like 1A. 1B, 2A, 2B?). Then map the U11 footprint accordingly.

As far as I can see, the names are identical. I even have the original schematic library source. They are all the same. The PCB footprint is somewhat different. Altium named the 4 pins 1, 2, 3, and 2. It is a SOT223 where there are 3 pins on one side and a large tab on the other. The middle pin (2) is internally connected to the large tab (2). When OrCAD translated them, it changed the name to 2_1. As a result, I renamed pin 2_1 to 4 and even added a fourth pin to the schematic symbol and it still indicates that they are not matching.

What is frustrating is the first group of warnings I get in the netrev.lst is like this:

#3 WARNING(SPMHNI-184): Device library warning detected.

WARNING: U11 component device pin number mismatch; cannot replace.

Then down the list I get a group like this:

#24 WARNING(SPMHNI-192): Device/Symbol check warning detected. [help]

ERROR(SPMHNI-196): Symbol 'SOT223' for device 'UA78M05CDCYR_U11_SOT223_UA78M05' has extra pin '2_1'.

I fixed this "extra" pin and made sure the schematic symbol had the same number and #24 will go away but #3 will stay. Is there a detailed way to fix this? How am I to know how many pins are in the schematic and PCB symbol?

Hi CadAce2K, I did not fully understand what you meant. I was finally able to understand that even though I made the schematic symbol have 4 pins, I did not label the number correctly for it to match the current footprint that was made. I mistook pin number mismatch to be amount and not a label of sorts. I understand now that device pin number mismatch means that the number label of the symbols and footprints have to match and not meaning the amount of pins.
