Entering Pin Information
Selecting Items in the Pin List
Clicking on an item in the pin list selects that item and the associated graphic in
the drawing area, if any. The key on the keyboard can be used to add to
an existing selection, in the usual way.
Setting the Pin Name
To set a pin name:
 Double-click on the pin in the pin list.
 Type the new name.
 Press Enter to finish name entry.
Here are the rules for pin names:
 Names are limited to 16 characters.
 Pin names must be unique within a part, except for bus internal pins. Bus
internal pins only need to be unique within their own bus.
 The program does not restrict what characters can be used in pin names, but
we recommend using only alphanumeric characters and a limited set of
punctuation characters unless you have some particular reason to use other
symbols. Some netlist formats may require the pin name to be exported and
may have restrictions on naming.
