Hi everyone,

I got the following error ':' not found on line 841 when trying to make a netlist so I look at the netlist log file and see the following error:

Scanning netlist files ...

I don't understand what was the error and did not get any details about this.

Any help is greatly appreciated

The problem is an illegal character in a Property Value used in the netlist. The illegal character, probably not something from A-Z, 0-9 or Underscore, is causing an issue at, or about, line 841 in the pstxprt.dat so, open the pstxprt.dat file with a text editor that displays line numbers and go looking at line 841, or in that region, compare the entries in that region with previous entries in the netlist to determine the issue and then go back to the schematic and correct the Property Value in the schematic.
