Greetings, I'm new to this forum but already find it a wealth of knowledge. I'm teaching myself Capture Orcad with the free demo version, Lite. I'm working thru the Mitzner book and in the example laying out a simple op amp circuit, with a 6 pin connector, I cannot place the conn6.

The error I get is "Pin numbers do not match between symbol and component. Run dev_check on device file for more information". I've wracked my brains trying to find Dev Check, redone the project a couple times, when I go to place the connector it shows an image indeed 6 pins (with two mounting holes) but will not place when I release it.

I'm sure some of you guys have seen this, any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

which is what I am attempting to figure out. I did it exactly per the book, rechecked to make sure I selected the correct footprint several times.....I'll rechecked and still cannot find an error in my work. I even created a simple connector only schematic with all the pins grounded. Ran a DRC, no problem, it created a netlist no problem, but again when I attempt to place the part I get the same error. Any other suggestions?
 

The error message is explicite:
Pin numbers do not match between symbol and component

You have defined pin names in the symbol and you defined a mapping between symbol pins and footprint pins in the component. Apparently both definitions do not match.
