Editing part graphics

137

Pins must be placed on the grid at integer multiples of the

grid spacing. Because the default grid spacing for the

Schematic Page Grid is set at 0.10", OrCAD recommends

setting pin spacing in the Part and Symbol Grid at 0.10"

intervals from the origin of the part and at least 0.10" from

any adjacent pins.

The part editor considers pins that are not placed at

integer multiples of the grid spacing from the origin as

off-grid, and a warning appears when you try to save the

part.

Here are two guidelines:

• Make sure Pointer Snap to Grid is enabled when

editing part pins and editing schematic pages so you

can easily make connections.

• Make sure the Part and Symbol Grid spacing matches

the Schematic Page Grid spacing.
