Hi,
I have a design that I am updating that is in Allegro Design Entry HDL.
I'm trying to learn how to create schematic symbols.
So far, I understand I have to manualy set-up a directory in a library
directory with the part name as the directory name and with subdirectories
"chips" and "part_table". Then, I create a file "chips.prt" in the chips
directory copying one from an existing symbol, and modifying it. And, a
file "part.ptf" in the part_table directory, again, copying one from an
existing symbol and filling it in.
Then, I create the graphics by copying another graphic, and "save as" into
this new directory in a subdirectory "sym_1".
I can add the new symbol to the schematic. But, I have a couple of
"problems". One is in the add component, the graphics shows a large dashed
yellow box the size of the old symbol. How can I change that?
Second is, when I put the symbol on the schematic, no pin numbers show up.
How do I get the pin numbers to show up?
A general schematic question...when I copy a symbol, or add one, the
instance number shows up. It's not visible on any of the pre-existing
symbols. How do I get that to be invisible?
Any help greatly appreciated!
Austin
