Netlist generation error

marekmat

Hello everyone.

I created a schematic in Capture and transferred it to the PCB Editor. In the meantime, I've added some elements and when I try to update the netlist I receive a bunch of such errors.

ERROR(SPCODD-409): Error at line 129 while loading the C:\USERS\AAAA\DOCUMENTS\PROJECTS\XYZ\
2020-09-03-1200\allegro\pstxnet.dat file. Unable to create the following new pin instance, 2, as the pin definition was not found.
Reference Designator: J40.
Schematic Instance: @\XYZ.\XYZ\(sch_1):\INS1109293\@\CONNECTOR\.\MC1.5/2-G-3.81.Normal\(chips) (MODULE: XYZ; PART: MC1.5/2-G-3.81).
Check the symbol and ensure that the pin definition is consistent.

I tried to delete them manually from the netlist file and from time to time that seemed to work. But now I'm not capable of neither generating netlist nor updating layout. Additionaly, in PCB Editor when I select the Place Components Manually tool, there are listed many elements I don't have in my schematic anymore?

How can I approach this problem? 

  • The issue seems to be with component J40 as the error states check with pins of J40 like the type, name, number...also, annotate the design by checking the "auto-package heterogenous part" in the annotate window.

    Delete the existing netlist file. After all these the netlisting design should be fine
