Placing Pins on a Non-shared

Object

You can place unplaced pins, reference instances of pins, duplicate instances of stud pins and, if the “Disallow pin/port duplication within a design” project preference is cleared, duplicate instances of non-stud pins onto non-shared devices, plugs, jacks and inlines. If a device, plug, jack, or inline has a library part associated with it, you can place pins from the library part definition onto the object.

Prerequisites

• You have added a device, plug, jack, or inline to a diagram and the pins to place on the object already exist. To add a new pin, see Adding New Pins to a Non-shared Object. In Capital Logic Designer, you cannot add a new pin to the library part definition of an object. You can only edit Library Part definitions in Capital Component Manager.

Procedure

1. Select the object:Press the space bar and enter Add Pin.

Right-click and select Add Pin.

If the object has a library part associated with it, press P.

The Place Pins Dialog Box [Non-Shared Objects] is displayed.

2. In the Select Pins table, select or multi‑select the pins to place on the object. If you choose to place pins individually when placing pins on the diagram, they will display in the order selected in the table.

3. Choose to place pins Individually, As Stack, or As Group and whether to place them As Reference, and then click Place.Tip See Reference Pins for a description of reference pins.

The cursor changes to . Circles indicate locations on the object where you can place the pins and dotted gray lines / boxes indicate locations outside the object where you can place the pins.

4. If you are placing pins individually, hover over the location where you want to place a pin. If you are placing pins as a group, hover over the location where you want to place the first pin of the group. If you are placing pins as a stack, hover over the location where you want to place the stack.The cursor changes to .

5. Click to place the pins.

6. If you are placing multiple pins individually, repeat Steps 4 and 5.

Results
