146 Chapter 8—Device Symbol Editing
Set the pin name and number for the other pins in a similar fashion.
NOTE: Some netlist formats, notably SPICE, require that pins appear in a certain
order in the output. Unless you specify otherwise using attributes, this order will be
determined by the order in which the pins are placed on the symbol. Pins can be
reordered by simply dragging them to a new position in the list.
The actual names given to the pins in this simple form of part are not critical. It
is a good idea though to use meaningful names for these reasons:
 These names will be seen in the Schematic tool's pin info dialog.
 They can be extracted in netlist output.
 They are used when binding pins to ports in subcircuits.
 In the case of bus internal pins, they are used when connecting bus pins on
the part to busses.
Step 4—Saving the Part
To save the part to a library:
 Select the Save As item in the File menu.
 Enter the name for the part. This is the name that will appear in the
Parts palette.
 Choose the desired destination library.
 Click Save.
