Adding a Pin to a Device

You can add either a single, or multiple pins to a device, specify pin attributes, and save amendments into your component library.

To aid pin management and help speed up the process, Capital Devices offers spreadsheet-like capabilities where you can copy (using Ctrl, C) a whole row of values and paste it (using Ctrl, V) elsewhere in the Pin table. Multiple rows can be selected by holding down the Shift key. You can also select cells and drag them vertically to fill adjacent cells with the same values.
