I've had the same issue with a valve component I made. It also turned out to be the path to the library.

Make sure that the project can see the the lib. Also make sure that the part is saved in the project cache as well. The other possibility is that something in the netlist has got confused, i.e. double line entries and such like. Have a look at kipy which is a python script that does a lot of checking for such errors. http://code.google.com/p/pyeda/ Andy On Mon, 25 Jan 2010 18:19:16 -0000 "ddeeds33" <[email protected]> wrote: > I have been using Kicad for about 2 years with good results, but am now > seeing something strange.
