Checking layout using netlist

HI ,
I have a Problem i have created a schematic and layout now i need to check this two using netlist . I ran DRC zero error and 0 warning but thare are some extra connection i need to check the layout using netlist generated from pcb editor can you help

thanks

Why do you need to check? Is there a concern from a PCB vendor, or is this company policy, or are you concerned that something might have been overlooked? Iā€™m confused by what you mean ā€œthere are some extra connection I need to checkā€?

There are some netlist export options. Have you tried to export from both schematic and layout, but havenā€™t found a pair outputs that make it easy to compare? I just checked but couldnā€™t find one, but I didnā€™t look hard eitherā€“Iā€™ve not compared netlists in years, schematic gets pushed to PCB properly and then I get a clean DRC and then I get a good board.

Schematic Editor / Tools / Update PCB from Schematic [F8] copies the netlist from the schematic to the PCB editor, where it is used to keep clearances between nets, and for DRC. So Iā€™m not sure what you want to do exactly.

You can create a netlist as a file with: Schematic editor / File / Export / Netlist.

Yes this company policy and even concern from a PCB Vendor to

Looks that your layout have its own netlist (not from schematic). Do you know how it have happened? If you correctly go from schematic to PCB via Update PCB From Schematic it simply couldnā€™t have happened.

yes I have checked There is no Extra net

They more believe you comparing two netlists ā€˜by handā€™ than a software that does it automatically?
If so they (in my opinion) are crazy enough to look around for other job.

This contradicts what you said earlier, that there are extra connections and no errors in DRC.

Capture
this is a sample circuit of my project how do i need the netlist is for
example J1 PIN2 is connected to R7,C1and C8 as shown in the image now the netlist that i need is J1 PIN2 is connected to R7 PIN 1,C1 Pin 2 and C8 PIN 1 in print form this is how i need can you help because this my company policy and even concern from a PCB Vendor

According to your schematic (to small to read element references) J1 pin2 should be only connected with R7 and not with anything else.

Just:
File ā†’Export ā†’Netlistā€¦ā€‹

In whatever format you want.

Thatā€™s up to you.
Pick one that is easy to understand (plain text).

Most netlists are really trivial - just a list of pins and their connections. Easy to understand.

I need it in excel or word formate how can i export

Should be able to open a csv in Excel, or copy&paste into Excel. Last couple times I opened a csv in Excel it opened automatically, ā€œknowingā€ it was comma delimited (I remember having to ā€œimportā€ and having tell Excel how to open a csv).

Once in, do a save-as as *.xlsx file.
