Recently experienced strange errrors never seen before. Pulled my out a few (white) hairs runnning the ERC trying to solve the last few error and after a lot of painstaking trial and error nailed it down to the location of the labels in the sub-sheet !
Scenario: A sub-sheet has hierarchical labels. The hierarchical labels have net labels with the same name in the same sheet (otherwise there is a warning that the different label use the same connections). The construction is as follows:
[1] Hierarchical label “A” ------ Net label “A” [2] Net label “A” ------- pin of an IC
When the [1] pair is placed close to the [2] pair no error occured. When it’s moved further away in the same sheet, the error “label does not connect to anything” is reported. Absolutely nothing else is changed, just the location of the hierarchical label pair in the same sheet. Am I missing something ? This would be worth a bug report ?
Pair [1]
Pair [2]
After moving pair [1] close to [2] ONLY, the errors disappear
