@proppy I think I responded on slack, but this occurs when there are unconnected nets with the same label in a subcircuit. If the nets are connected in the parent hierarchy, the netlists should match. At the user_project_wrapper level, you might check your power mesh to be sure that nothing has been orphaned.

With netgen 1.5.228, I do not get an error. After 1.5.228, netgen doesn't handle implicit ports correctly.

@proppy can you check that no error occurs with netgen 1.5.228?

[SaraEfabless]

Proppy,

Can you check it with netgen 1.5.228 and let me know if its a valid issue or not?

[jeffdi]

Need to confirm if this error still exists with the current version of netgen. @proppy
