Why do connectors in teh master data base have pins defined as 'bi-directional'?

[dbur]

This causes all kinds of erc errors.  Is the only option to copy the parts to my corp lib and change the pins to passive, or turn off that error check?

It would be great and more appropriate if all connectors in the master database were defined with 'passive' pins.

Hello,

If you go to the DRC settings options, you'll find a matrix that you can change to alter the kind of warnings/errors you get. Otherwise, yeah bi-directional is the default pin connection.

Yes, I can do that, but then a real error of this type of connection is not flagged.  It makes no sense to define a connector pin as bi-directional.  They should be passive.

For some reason this is more irritating in the V13 beta.  It allways complains about the errors each time I switch to the design window, until I explicitly run the error checker again.

Hello,

I'll pass along your message to R&D. MAke sure you write that in the feedback form as well for the beta testing.

I checked closer. It was complaining about another issue and I did submit a bug on that.
