Hi Francisco,
using the design rules in schematic first time I had the same Problem.
No metric velues seems to be alowed (a bug?). But using velues without
sufix was succesfull.
Francisco have you checked the "Rules" box in the Synchronisation
dialog? That was the Problem I had.

Good Luck,
Waldemar
