8.6.7 Assigning Pins in a Schematic

Nets in your schematic that have the “PIN” attribute assigned to them in ViewDraw are automatically assigned to that pin during design implementation in Designer.

To assign the “PIN” attribute to a net:

  1. Double-click the net to assign pin information. This displays the Net Properties dialog box.
  2. Select the Attributes Tab.
  3. Assign the “PIN” attribute to the net. Type “PIN” in the Name box and the pin number to be assigned in the Value box. Click OK.
Note: This procedure assigns the pin name to the signal net in the netlist. If you use this method to fix pins and you change your pin assignments in PinEdit, you will not be able to back annotate. PinEdit does not change netlist information.
