Hi,

I run protel dxp compile PCB project and got the warning: off-grid
netlist label ... I am wondering what does it mean and how to solve
it.

Thanks.

I get those sorts of errors if I place something with the grid set to 1 mil
say, and then change the grid to 5 or 10 mils. The compiler doesn't like
coordinates that aren't integer multiples of the grid. Don't know if this
is what you're seeing or not. As regards connectivity, I've found that
DXP/2004 is much more tolerant of slightly misaligned labels than previous
versions of Protel.

Try dumping an ASCII netlist and looking at the info for the offending
component.
