Hi Andy, I had alread checked for these aspects, these were also my initial suspicions. The component is drawn exactly on the grid and the pins are completely identical except their number, of course. Any other ideas? Thanks! Cristian

Check that the pins are really defined as normal pins in the lib editor. If they are anything special such as power out, power in and so on, the system may try to assign nets to them.
