Edit components on schematic

e14 Contributor
e14 Contributor over 14 years ago

Is there a way to edit a component once it is placed on the schematic ?

For example, each pin of a PIC microcontroller has several functions, for a project I would like to see just the function I want to use (the analog input or USART rx/tx or the plain digital I/O function). This to avoid confusion, it would be better to have a label with just RB0 rather than RB0/AN1/TX/SDI...

Another edit I would like to do is to move the pins around the object to make the schematic clearer (move a pin from the left to right side, or move a pin at the top of the object, etc.).

So far I wasn't able to do any of these things, seems that once the objects are placed on a schematic/board they are locked and there is no way to edit them, I don't want to create a library for each project. Is there another way to do that ?

 

Regards.

    Just an idea:

    You could create a device which consists of single pins that are

    placed in a way that it looks like a quite normal symbol. Use Addlevel

    "Always" in the device for all gates. Then you can place the device

    as usual (all pins are visible and can be placed together). If you

    want to change the position of some pins you could do so now.....
