Steve - Can't say for sure without seeing your schematic, but here is my guess. You are using Sheet Symbols/Port Connections for your netlist scope and your top sheet has one or more GND net labels that are not attached to a GND power port. Therefor you get two GND nets. If you change your netlis

Steve, I've got 2 eurocents for you: Using explicit sheet-port connectivity, but GND power symbols should be common regardless. In the really old OrCad days, when DOS ruled, the sheet ports (local) took precedence over power symbols (global). That was the only way to isolate power nets on sheets

In the interest of getting this project moving forward, I added a port connected to a Gnd power symbol on the throublesome sheet, and added a corresponding sheet entry on the parent sheet, connected to a Gnd power object there. Now the netlist works fine, with the "two" GND nets connected togeth

I've seen the toggling macros that result from having two pins with the same number, where they are alternately added and deleted from the connections with successive netlist loads. This is similar, but slightly different. I have built a common-mode choke schematic symbol, with 4 pins each of ty
