Hi Andy, Thanks for the advice. I am using the native symbols in the problem schematic.
Perhaps if I post the pdf print up it will make more sense. Something else popped up since my post. Invisible pins (from the same Library Item) are also reporting the same error, but they change each re-run of the ERC rules check. Look in files for the copy. regards Greg --- In kicad-users@yahoogroups.com, Andy Eskelson <andyya...@...> wrote: > > Where did you get the symbols from? > Sometimes when importing from other sources things can go a bit haywire > and duplicate pins can get created. > > Check the lib files very carefully, as it has been known for pins to get > duplicated in the lib.
