Missing Pin Found in Component Display Mode

This compiler hint appears if a pin is found to be missing in one of the display modes for a part. The message is 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.

Warning

Recommendation

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. Not only must there be an identical number of pins between graphical display modes, the pins must be identical in both Designator and Name.

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).
