Default report mode:

Summary Copy Link Copied

This violation occurs if there is a different number of pins between graphical display modes for a part.

Notification Copy Link Copied

If compiler errors and warnings are enabled for display on the schematic (enabled on the Schematic - Compiler page of the Preferences dialog) an offending object will display a colored squiggle beneath it. A notification is also displayed in the Messages panel in the following format:

Missing Pin <Identifier> in <DisplayMode> of part <PartName>

where:

• Identifier is used to identify the pin in question. The identifier appears in the format PartLibraryReference-Pin Designator (e.g., DIP14-8)
• DisplayMode is the specific graphical representation mode for the part in which the missing pin has been found. A part has a Normal mode and can have up to 255 defined Alternate modes
• PartName is the library reference for the affected part.

Recommendation for Resolution Copy Link Copied

This violation typically arises when an alternate graphical mode is defined for a component, but not all pins specified in the Normal mode have been specified for the Alternate (i.e. there must be an identical number of pins between graphical display modes).

In the source schematic library, copy the missing pins from an existing display mode into the offending display mode for the component. This can be performed directly on the schematic sheet for a part that has been placed already, but you would typically tackle the problem from within the library, then push the change across (Tools » Update Schematics).
