pin name vs terminal name of a pin

Dear All,

We're trying to have a common method of doing labels in my team, that way we could simplify our skill codes on labels. As Andrew mentioned in another post, what people refer to as the "pin name" is usually the terminal name.

I also considered about the terminal name when working on layouts as that only matters for lvs. And a coworker that I work with used to match Pin Name to Terminal Name.

I have a question here. What is "Pin Name" for? Is it worth to match the two names? Looks like Pin Name is just assigned by the tool.

I've tried to find it by searching but couldn't find about it. Could anybody advise?


Thanks,
Jane
