Netlist are separated two net that have same netlabel.
I attached shcematic and netlist data.

error net
netlabel RCS_3 netlist RCS_3 and N00010 separated
netlabel RSC_6 netlist RCS_6 and N00009 separated
netlabel RCS_7 netlist RCS_7 and N00008 separated

    Hi -

    I studied your test design and am able to reproduce the problem. TinyCAD should have accepted your input, but there appear to be some special cases that have not been covered. The base problem is that 4 of your symbols have been built with slightly offgrid pins. It appears to be pin #1, but without your original library, I cannot be positive.

    The symbols with the problem are:
    1. ResisterArray4
    2. R
    3. ResNetwork
    4. CapasiterNetwork

    The offgrid pin appears to be the same in all three of the resistor symbols, so I would guess that you used the first one (probably R) to generate the other two,

    To fix the problem, you will have to edit your library, delete the pins, and then re-add them to all 4 library symbols, making sure to only add pins with grid-snap turned on. Then you will have to update each instance of each symbol in your schematic(s).

    It is possible to also fix this problem using a good editor such as NotePad++ (available free on SourceForge) and directly edit the .TCLib file and the .DSN files. Look for coordinates that do not end in ".000000" and change them to the proper coordinate values. For example, a symbol with a pin located at 47.00746 should probably be changed to 47.00000. You will notice that some offgrid coordinate values (such as for polygon vertices) are intended to be offgrid and should not be corrected. Just fix the points for pins and wires.

    Since the offgrid points that I noticed all round to the correct value, I think that TinyCAD should have considered them to be connected so I will look into why they are not and try to get it fixed in the next month or so. In the meantime, the only timely way to fix this problem is to fix your library and schematics.

    Best regards,

    Don

    Thank Don.
    I check and edit my DSN file by NotePad++, then netlist data is corrected. But I check library file by NotePad++, then the control code is embedded in character data.

    Libray file controll code is embedded in charactor line.
