Hi Steve, One of the parts I created, I deleted the part from the schematic, went into the library, made sure that the end of the pin with the BLOB is away from the part, made all the pins the right type (power, input output) and saved the library, removed the library, re added it, put the part back from the library. Still the same fault :( -- Regards, Kat. --------------------------------------------------------------- K.A.Q.
