7.4.7 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 in ViewDraw:

1. Select the net to assign pin information.
2. Add a Pin attribute to the net. Select the Attr command from the Add menu. The Add Attribute dialog box is displayed. Type pin=<valid_pin_number> in the Attribute box.
3. Click OK.

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.
