I do not think the power pin is the problem. The problem is how your netlist corresponds to the pins in your component. I usually use the same pin numbers for all pins that are the same (multiple pins) on the component. Use only one pin for them in the schematic/netlist. Check that and also provide the output of the DRC test. Martin
