Pin Swapping

I tried to swap pins on a component and it keeps giving me this error: Pin is not swappable because the swap code is zero ... pick again. How do I fix this so that the pins can be swapped? It does it with all of the components on the pc.

Where is your netlist originating? If it is coming form Concept, pin swapping is enabled through the PIN_GROUP attribute on the pin in the chips.prt file. Pins of the same function and having the same PIN_GROUP value, will be swappable.

Hope this helps.

Hello – I am using OrCAD CIS with PCB Editor version 16.3. I have an FPGA that is connected to several connectors for the design that I am working on. I have total flexibility on the FPGA connections and I would like to be able to perform pin swapping at the layout level and be able to back annotate these changes to the schematic. The connector symbols are multi-pin as opposed to single pin connector symbols. Any suggestions?
