Hello,
I have circuits that have migrated through several versions of electric
and been imported from Cadence through and EDIF process. This involved
scaling and different technologies in Electric.
I now have a library that was done with Electric 8.01 on another
computer and it loads fine and netlists/simulates on that machine.
Loading it into my library set with Electric 8.01 I get a small error.
I correct the error. Save the library, restart electric, reload the
library set and I get new errors.

I suspect this is due to different scaling between the original library
set and my current set and arcs, pins not connecting with my current
options. But I wonder why I get new errors when I save it from my
current session.
I can also open the library in Electric 8.02. I get another single small
error.
Cell xxxx has an unconnected pin
That pin is available in the selection list. When I select that pin and
Focus on Highlighted to find it a memory leak is exercised and what was
once a happy 200M process uses my entire system page file allocation.
I am wondering if anyone has seen the scaling issue and has a solution
other than redrawing the entire library.
Also I would like hints at how to get an example error rather than my
entire design library set so I can submit a bug report.
Regards,
Richard Griffith.
