Hello Everyone, I have a stumper that I hope someone else has seen before. We are using 15.5 allegro and OrCad CIS. I am not the originator of this sch but he has also looked at it and sees nothing amiss. I ( and all others who have tried) get the following error when I try to import the netlist: #1 ERROR(40) Object not found in database Pin number '6' not found in database In line 4562 File name : 'H:/jobs/designs/allegro/*customer name*/test_netlist_061407/pstxnet.dat' Line 4562 refers to u16 pin 6 which is one ( the first in the series) of several identical parts connected the same way. ( I have replaced the customer name in the error above. the original name was one word with no spaces or asterisks so that is not the problem) The pin in question is in the sch symbol and the footprint same numbering, etc.. there is a connection both graphically and in the netlist itself. The pin in question is not a change and it was already hooked up that way in the last netlist. I checked the syntax and connections in the pstxnet and pstchips and all looks fine, No typos, etc. What could be the problem? I will contacting cadence as well however sometimes it is quicker to get an answer here..... Thanks in advance, Dharma KAW/USA Ltd. 39 Simon Street, #4 Nashua, NH 03060 603-886-8711 x212 603-881-8763 fax Confidentiality Notice: This email and any accompanying documents contain information that is confidential, privileged or exempt from disclosure under applicable law and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee.
