This compiler hint appears when at least two sheet symbols on the same schematic sheet are detected to have the same designator. The message is displayed in the Messages panel in the following format:

Duplicate Sheet Symbol Names Sheet Symbol SheetSymbolDesignator at Location1 and Location2,

where

SheetSymbolDesignator is the offending designator

Location1 is the X,Y coordinates marking the top-left corner of the parent sheet symbol for the first instance of the offending designator

Location2 is the X,Y coordinates marking the top-left corner of the parent sheet symbol for the second instance of the offending designator.

Default Report Mode

Error

Recommendation

Use the Compile Errors dialog to quickly cross probe to the offending sheet symbols. Amend the designator of one of the sheet symbols as required, in order to keep the designators distinct and unique.

Notes

This violation type is checked only for source schematic documents that are part of an FPGA (*.PrjFpg) or Core (*.PrjCor) project.
