Changing PCB Decal Pin Numbers

DonlAZ

I searched and kept coming up with Zero results.

I have an existing decal and want to change the pin numbering without having to delete and add the pins again with a differnt number for the pins ie vreg versus mossfet. Is there a simple way to do this?

    Sorry should have been more specific. To edit the Pin number you MUST be in the symbol editor and be editing the filename.dra file. Edit the pin names here then save and then update the symbol in the design. Remember this is tied to the netlist from the schematic so pin numbers must match.
