Creating New Symbols Using Symbol Editor

To view a list of a symbol's pin names go to Symbol Editor's View Menu and select "View Pin List..." to open a dialog that displays the list of pin names. You may also view each individual pin name by selecting the Pin Tool and clicking on the pin itself. The Pin Name dialog displays the name of the selected pin, where you may change it. When creating a new device, its symbol's pin names must match the pin names of the device's simulation model. The pin names of the simulation model can be modified to match the names of the symbol pins in the Device Editor. However, if the symbol's pins are named correctly ahead of time, then this will save you a step. Most built-in simulation models have easy-to-remember pin names, such as R+ and R- for the pins of the resistor. If you don't know the simulation model's pin names, then use meaningful names for the symbol pins. Some examples of symbols that already have set pin names are:
