Swap level being ignored

Former Member over 15 years ago

I have a library components (dual FET, Si4834BDY) that has two electrically

halves, yet the pin names are the same and number of pins are same for the

two halves. One FET has a schottky diode in parallel in from S-D, and one

FET does not.

I choose to use swap level 1 for each half, even though they are internally

different. The external pinouts are mirrors of each other.

What is the problem in allowing me to swap the two halves, so long as there

are similar pin assignments?

My sugggestion is, unless there is some commanding reason why you cannot do

so, then HONOR a request for swap-level = 1, and swap two electrically

different device halves - so long as the pin-assignments are the same, even

if those halves use two different symbols!

I was annoyed because I spent about 20 minutes trying to repair my library.
It took me that long before I realized the problem was systemic. Maybe I got
off easy.

Gary, thanks for your suggestion, but "-ouch-".
I got to thinking about this after I aired my beef... .
It was a lost cause since before dinosaurs and beer.
Minor annoyance. I fix.
