NOTE: When the single–pin devices are used, every device must carry exactly the
same name, although the names can be invisible if desired.
Handling Discrete Components
Discrete components—such as capacitors, transistors, etc.—can be handled
just like any other device, except for the following special considerations.
Pin Numbering on Discrete Components
Pin numbers are not normally placed on discrete component pins on a dia-
gram. If pin numbers are omitted from a device, LogicWorks will normally
put a question mark in the netlist item for that device. Two methods are
available to provide pin numbers for netlisting purposes:
 To provide automatic numbering of discrete devices pins, the Report
Generator provides an auto–numbering option. This option causes any
device with less than or equal to three pins to be numbered
automatically if no pin numbers are present on the diagram.
IMPORTANT: This option assumes that the pin number order of the discrete components is not
significant. If a specific order is important, do not use this method.
 Pin numbers can be assigned but left invisible. This is done using the
Get Info command for either the pin or the device.
