OrCad Capture CIS -- Unconnected pin, no FLOAT property or FLOAT = e

Click For Summary
The user is encountering an "Unconnected pin, no FLOAT property or FLOAT = e" error in OrCad Capture CIS while working on a circuit. Suggestions include zooming in to check for actual connections, as the design rule check (DRC) markers may indicate issues despite appearances. Running a Netlist can help clarify whether the nets are truly connected. It's also advised to ensure the grid is enabled and to check its spacing, as fine grid settings might lead to unintentional disconnections. Addressing these points should help resolve the errors in the circuit design.

Hello everyone!
I am new in OrCad Capture Cis and apparently lack in fundamental knowledge. I have created this circuit so far but it appears that something (or everything) is wrong. The error is "Unconnected pin, no FLOAT property or FLOAT = e" in several parts of the circuit. Your answers will be of much help to me, especially if you are specific and analytical, so I can understand you because of my poor knowledge. Thank you!

Welcome to the PF.

It does look like there are connections there where the DRC marker circles are drawn... If you zoom way in, does it still look like there are connections? Or maybe if your grid is real fine, the lines are actually not quite connected... What do you get when you run a Netlist for the circuit? Does it indicate those nets are connected or not?

EDIT -- And is your grid turned on? What is the spacing of your grid?
 
BTW, it looks like you have shorted through Cc1 on the right...
 
I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
