I'm doing a schematic that has a 16x2 LCD display connecting to an Arduino, when putting in the connecting wires, it crisscross from pin to pin and it looks very messey, how do I move the pins around in the LCD symbols so that I can draw stright wire from Arduino, I tried swap pin but it says the LCD symbol has swaplevel 0 and can not be swaped.
I think he is just asking about making the schematic look neater by
re-arranging the pins on the symbols, not the packages. I am not sure
about the Arduino code, however, with the PIC processors (and CCS C
compiler) I use, there are a number of code examples that let you define at
the bit level which bit from the processor is which bit on the LCD (allows
you to drive the LCD with whatever spare pins you have left on the
processor 
). At the board layout level, that would also allow you to
re-define the pins in the code (sort of like the pin-swap at the gate
level) to make the board layout work. Just another thought.
