Annotate messes up multi-part component

dbemmann

I have defined a component for a 74HC08 Quad AND gate. My component consists of 5 parts:

Part A:  AND gate 1 (inputs A1, B1, output Y1)

Part B:  AND gate 2 (inputs A2, B2, output Y2)

Part C:  AND gate 3 (inputs A3, B3, output Y3)

Part D:  AND gate 4 (inputs A4, B4, output Y4)

Part E:  Ports GND, VCC

 

When I use the function "Annotate quietly", it messes up the circuit by exchanging Part A with Part E (which are obviously not interchangable). How can I fix this?

  • The other way is to configure part swapping in the library. Open the schematic library, and type "swap" in the search box. Click on "Tools->Configure Swapping". This presents a dialog box with all multi-part components. Choose one, and select "configure conmponent". On the "part swapping" tab, assign  a number to any parts that can be swapped, and a different number for other parts. Also use the sequence id to identify which pins are funtioanly identical (eg AB for inputs, Y for outputs). Save the library, and update the schematic from the library component to get the changes.

     

    You can also right-click a component in a schematic, and choose Part Actions -> Configure Pin Swapping to change things.

    Great. I think this is the way to go.
