Hi all,
Can someone provide me with the document that helps me in creating logical
symbols in Concept HDL Cadence 15.5?
Regards

Judging by your pictures, it looks like you have the pin spacing at 0.05".
The defaults in the tools are set for 0.10" pin spacing. Pin number text
size at the schematic level is defined at the schematic level under Tools =>
Options and then select the tab labeled "Text". If you are using that small
of pin spacing you will need to change that default size accordingly,
probably something very hard to read for us old guys.
Pin numbers are not visible in the symbol editor. You can, however, define
a placeholder at a specific size in the symbol editor - $PN=?.

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Schematic Symbol (Part) Question
Good afternoon fellow designers,
Folks I have a couple schematic symbol (or Part as Cadence calls them)
questions:
1: Below is a screen shot of a symbol I am in the process of creating. See
how the pin signal name appears both inside and outside the outline - is
there any way to see the Pin Number on the outside of the outline instead of
the signal name? I would prefer to see the symbol in the editor as it will
look in the schematic.
2: Below is a screen shot of the same symbol inserted into a schematic page.
The pin numbers are now visible (as I would have wanted to the symbol to
be), but the problem I am having now is that the Pin Number text size is too
large and overlapping each other. Would you happen to know how to reduce the
text size of the Pin Numbers.
Thanks in advance to all for your appreciative help.
