Orcad Capture: Changing a homogenous symbol into a heterogene and add a part - Can it be done?

UlfK

Dear forum, Is there a way to change a homogenous part to a heterogenous and add a part within it? What I would like to do is to edit say a 4 part gate, delete the (hidden) power pins, add a fifth "power part" and place the power pins (visible) on that part. There are large libraries included with the products, but having the power pins hidden is IMHO not a safe way to control the power routing, especially since I want to reuse symbols for logic families with different supply voltages.

    No, the type is set when the part is created and the internal structure is probably different because the homogeneous part has one set of graphics and multiple pin number properties but the heterogeneous part has "N" sets of graphics with properties specific to each set of graphics. You will need to create a part from scratch but you can copy the graphics from the homogeneous part to the heterogeneous part, if you open them both.
