False Error 12 on Shortest Distance Validation Report


Product(s):Promis.e, Bentley Substation
Version(s):through 08.11.13.140
Environment: N/A
Area: Panel Layout
Subarea: Shortest Distance

Problem Description

After running [[Run Shortest Distance|Shortest Distance]], the Validation Report contains results under "Error No. 12 Either the connection points are missing from the layout symbols or the connection point text on the layout symbols does not match the schematic symbols." Upon investigation, some or all of the results seem to be false; the connection points are not missing from the layout symbols and the connection point texts indeed match those on the schematic symbols.

Steps to Resolve

If the symbols in question are for terminal type devices, do the following:

  1. Select [[Run Shortest Distance]].
  2. Click the Routing Options button on the resulting Shortest Distance Routing dialog.
  3. Select the Compatibility Options tab.
  4. Clear the check box for "Enable Legacy Terminal CP Support", click OK.
  5. Click Start to route again.
