Sheets Containing Duplicate Ports

This compiler hint appears when two ports with the same name are detected on the same schematic sheet in the design. The message is displayed in the Messages panel in the following format:

Sheet contains duplicate ports Port Identifier at Location1 and Location2,

where

Identifier is the name of the offending port

Location1 is the X,Y coordinates for the first instance of the particular port

Location2 is the X,Y coordinates for the second instance of the port.

Default Report Mode

Warning

Recommendation

Use the Compile Errors dialog to quickly cross probe to the duplicate port objects. Determine which port object is in error and either rename it or delete it from the design.
