Finding a connection in Schematic

leslieFRT9A — Mon, 30 Aug 2021 03:20:18 GMT

I am attempting to learn the rudiments of electronic schematics for a simple board I am working on for a prototype design. To help in my learning I am using a schematics from an Adafruit product and Fusion 360. In an attempt to recreate the ADA schematic and learn as I go I have taken the ADA schematic in to a new drawing (copy and Paste not link) and am working through each component to eventually create a 3d version of the board to use in my design. I find when i check the ADA schematic using ERC it gives no errors - as I would of course expect. When I copy and paste into a new schematic and do an ERC I get a warning that "Power pin IC2 connected to N$1" I would like to find N$1 so I can see what the warning is referring to but have been unable to find it probably because it is called something else. Can anyone advise how I might find the connection or even better why I am getting the warning although without lots more info I realise that is probably an impossible question to ask.

Hope someone can advise

design manager, this on the left side, then view tab and select NETS from the drop down list, then on the bottom you will have the list with net classes, if you have defined, in the nextt window bellow you will have your list N$1, N$2 and so on. Be careful on the top is filter mechanisms which select the sheets- use all sheets.
