Is there a way to set the fixed gap between pins in a symbol?

Is there a way to set the fixed gap between pins in a symbol?

For example, in a symbol there are 5 input signal pins and I would like to set the fixed gap between these pins. 

I can manually do this by measuring the distance and then put the pin but that doesn't seem to be a good way.

Thank you.

    How are you creating the symbol?

    Hi, creates symbol as follows:

    From Schematic Editor choose Create --> Cellview  --> From CellView.

    I've just see that there is an option to choose pin spacing here. 

    However, I have another problem with the size of symbol. My symbol have a rectangular shape with 32 pins in the bottom horizontal side. But this side length is too short so only 16 pins put there, the remaining other 16 pins is put on the same location. Is there a way to solve that? 

    I attached the symbol below. Thank you.

    I don't know how that happened - I've never seen it do that before. I used 6.1.6.500.9 (the version I think you're using) with the same pin names and got this:

    I can't see how this can happen - so please contact customer support. I couldn't find any reports of this either.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
