ECAD import problem

I have imported an EMN & EMP file into Wildfire and ALL the components
appear as they should, in the 'blocky' state. My problem arises when I
look at the ECAD_HINT.ADD file. This file does not contain all the
components shown in the EMP library file. So when I use the ECAD_HINT.ADD
file to replace the 'blocky' parts with actual models, I only get a few
components replaced.

I also get the following messages in the ECAD_IN.LOG file:

Warning: Previous placement instructions of the component
with placement name <CN1> were totally replaced at import.

I get this warning for every component that is not in the ECAD_HINT.ADD
file. Anyone know what this means and how I can osrt it out.

Thanks in advance

Jeff
