Viewlogic has fixed the value and part number problem in the partlist
program.
I have not seen a problem with "calling every power and ground symbol a
separate part"
Check the power and ground symbol properties, Symbol type should be set for
PIN.

You can get the latest 7.4 patches from:

Has anyone received any more information about the ViewLogic 7.4 bug? We
are not able to extract a correct parts list to process an ECO. It is
calling every power or ground symbol a separate part.
