ComponentPhysicalDesignator is the physical designator for the affected component (the designator as displayed on the compiled tab view of the relevant schematic document on which the component in question resides).VariantNameis the name of the design variant in which the erroneous alternate component has been defined.Incorrect link between project variant '' and schematic component Component () A notification is also displayed in the Messages panel in the following format: Hovering over the object will display a pop-up hint that summarizes the violation. If compiler errors and warnings are enabled for display on the schematic (enabled on the Schematic - Compiler page of the Preferences dialog), an offending object will display a colored squiggle beneath it. The Compiler therefore flags this as an incorrect link. However, ifВ by mistake, a single-part resistor component is chosen as the alternate, it does not have the capacity to facilitate the switching-out of existing sub-parts R1B, R1C, and R1D. The chosen part should also be a multi-part componentВ that can easily accommodate switching out the four sub-parts currently used in the design.

Now, consider a defined variant of that base design, where an alternate part has been chosen to be used in place of that original base part. Also consider that four of those parts have been placed (R1A, R1B, R1C, R1D). For example, consider a base design with multi-part component R1 - an isolated resistor network with 8 sub-parts. This violation occurs when a single-part component has been chosen as an Alternate Part for a multi-part component - in a defined Variant for the active design project - and there is more than one part of the original base design component placed within the design.
