Allegro Design Entry CIS 15.2 (Netlisting)

alg0016

Hello All Expert,

Thanks for reading this post.

I am a beginner at PCB layout. When I tried to create the netlist I get this error below. I really don't know where to begin to solve this problem. Please, help. I'm sorry for the long list below. Just want to give you all the info I can.

warning [alg0016] part name

Your warnings are a result of the names you gave to your components. Component names have to be less than 32 characters, and although they were counted, I don't believe spaces are legal characters either. If you count the characters, you will see that the warning is telling you that the name was truncated.

The truncated names can't match up with the netnames using the illegal long component names, so your netlist fails.

Shorten all your component names, and follow the instructions in the Allegro manual.

warning [alg0016]

Your problem is with the component names.
Remember not to used spaces while definig project,directories, and components.
You must take care also with the project names you choose.
Refer to project manager help to know about allowed characters that can be used for project names.
By the way, how do you make use of simulation models for SpecctraQuest?
