The Pin parameters tab of the Component Properties dialog box is where you assign the pin type for each of the symbol pins in a component.

  Symbol Pin is the name of the pin. For example, most digital components have pins named “Vcc” and “GND”.

Complete the following steps to enter pin parameters:

  1. Select the desired Symbol pin in the Pin table.
  2. Select the type of component in the Component type drop-down list.
  3. Select the technology in the Component Technology drop-down list.

      This list does not appear for all component types.

  4. Click in the corresponding field in the Type column in the Pin table and select the pin type from the drop-down list that appears for each symbol pin.

      You can assign the same pin type to multiple symbol pins at once. Use the <Ctrl> and <Shift> keys to select the desired pins and then select the desired type from one of the selected Type fields. The type for all of the selected symbol pins changes to reflect your selection.

  5. Select whether or not you wish to include each symbol pin in the Electrical Rules Check by clicking in the corresponding field in the ERC status column and selecting either Include or Exclude. (The default is Include).

      The Section column displays the section of a multi-section component. This column is read-only.
