creation of symbols having many pins

true wanderer
true wanderer over 9 years ago

Hi,

I'm preparing schematic for my project whose main part is a controller having 136 pins. I drew it as a single package but it looks too complex. It would be better if i could split it into different sections(like power supply,UART part,ADC section). Please explain how can i add the same footprint to those different sections.

    Not really, PCB Footprint is a "Package property", when you open the library part after "splitting", use Options>Package Properties to set the footprint. If you leave the PCB Footprint blank at this stage you will need to set the same PCB Footprint property value on all of the sections placed in the schematic.
