Multisim ERC Error message "Error: Connecting 'Power' to 'Bidirectional';"

[hans23]

Hi,
when I run the ERC on my circuit, then much of this errors appears:

Error: Connecting 'Power' to 'Bidirectional';
Error: Connecting 'Out' to 'Bidirectional';  
Error: Connecting 'Bidirectional' to 'Power';

what I did make wrong? How can I solve that?
I would be happy about an answer and a solution of you...

Multisim checks if two pins have an incompatible type. Such a check is performed to check if e.g. that two outputs are not connected to each other.
If you encouter such errors but what you did is correct, you have two possibilites.

1.) Cahnge the ruleset, e.g. generally alllow to connect power with bidirectional pins.
Go  Tools>>Electrical Rules Check...>>ERC Rules  and adjust the rules matrix

2.) Set the pin parameters of your part to match the needs.
Right click your part >> Properties>>Value>>Edit Component in Database>>Pin Parameters
Now change the specific pin from e.g. BIDIRECTIONAL to PWR, so you don´t get an ERC if you connect it that way.
