Automatic net assignment between one symbol and multiple symbols

bdc66a938f164d

In `project.mcm` I have one symbol that has >300 pins, and I have >300 symbols with 1 pin each. I want to use the automatic net assignment tool to map them. Is this possible?

When I open the tool, it asks me to select the source, and I click on the symbol with many pins. So far everything works fine. Then it asks to select the destination. Here, however, I cannot select the other symbols, not even one of them. When I tyr to select, Allegro says `(SPMHIS-246): No pins matching specified component class in selection set. Select pins again.`. I believe that this is due to the fact that the symbol with multiple pins (which was given to me) is defined such that it has

```
Component Class: IC
Device Type: DEVICE_1
Die Type: FLIP-CHIP
```

and the symbols with 1 pin are defined such that

```
Component Class: DISCRETE
Device Type: DEVICE_2
```

I don't know if this is actually the issue, and how to change the definition of the discrete component into an IC component to fix it.

    I copy-pasted this post into Copilot and it gave me the answer. Just for future reference:

    1. Open "Logic/Edit parts list...".
    2. Change the class of the desired components.

    It was that simple.Then the automatic net assignment worked out of the box.
