I'm getting an error message when I try to bring in a netlist and I can't figure out how to get around it. The message in the report reads; Net "GND_SIGNAL" already exists in design. I generated the netlist using Orcad and this is the name Orcad assigns to ground. I'm using an older version of EasyPC version 11.0.3

This suggests that the netlist has more than one net with the same name. That's not an issue with schematics, and certainly legal in Easy-PC, but it might be confusing the importer. Is this a warning? It's quite possible that if you click OK, it will then say something like 'Merge Nets?', and clicking OK will let it continue. Alternatively, if it's actually failing as a result, you'd need to send a copy of the netlist to support.

As V11 no longer qualifies for support, it would be checked in V13, and if it's still an issue , fixed there, but that wouldn't help you directly. On the other hand, you'd probably get some feedback on how to avoid the problem.
