[Warning] GND contains IO Pin and Power Pin Objects

[s.gesota]

Hi,

I have just started using Altium Designer Tool and have come across this warning :-

"GND contains IO Pin and Power Pin Objects"

I have given 'GND Power Port' to the pins that have to be grounded as per the pinouts given in the data sheet.

Can you explain what the error actually means ? I am unable to understand it and unable to debugg/ troubleshoot it.

Thanks and Regards,
Gesota S.

Did you set pin type in your symbols (e.g. input, output, bidirectional, etc)?

I do not assign type to symbol pins for several reasons - and this may be one of them (warnings and errors which are not very useful)

Thank you for replying sir.
Yes sir, the warning pops up when i have selected the pin type as INPUT.
Also there is a series Resistor which is connected to the pin.

I found some information here :-

yep, that is exactly one of the reasons why I do not set pin types - this kind of warnings.
