  2. Click to add the pins to the stack.

Results

  • The selected pins are no longer displayed on the diagram.

  • If conductors are connected to the selected pins, they maintain their connectivity. If a highway already interfaces with the stack, they are added to that highway. If there was no existing highway, the conductors are placed in a new highway that interfaces with the stacked pin.

  • If a pin with a shield termination is added to the stack, the shield termination disappears from the diagram but the pin retains the connectivity to the shield termination.
