Description

When running Gen_sch8 5.0 on a large design (especially with XBLOX), the

following error may occur:

GEN_SCH8 Ver. 5.0.0

// Error: Sheet/Symbol diagram is closed (from: Capture/ddp/error 01)

ERROR: Bad status 79502001 from ddp__setup_pin_scan.

Sheet/Symbol diagram is closed

GEN_SCH8: ERROR 386: Error found in check_status.

This problem occurs when a power or ground symbol is the last symbol written

on a generated schematic sheet. Gen_sch8 closes the schematic-sheet object

before writing the symbol to it, causing the error.

Solution

This problem has been fixed in Gen_sch8 versions 5.1 and later.
