Using Split Parts - Allegro Design Entry HDL 16.6

gray88

I'm familiar with OrCAD Capture 15.7 from a previous job, where creating heterogeneous parts was simple, and placing them on a schematic was no issue. Now, at a new employer, Design Entry HDL is used. There is an extensive library developed at this new position, and I would like to use a part with three symbols, however I can not figure out how to place each individual symbol (3x32 connector, each row of pins is a separate symbol of the part: Symbol1 is A1-A32, Symbol 2 is B1-B32, etc.)

After exploring the help documentation and tutorials, I still can not figure out a way to place this schematic so that I see J1A, J1B, J1C as I would in OrCAD Capture. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    After you have placed the first symbol down left click again and the symbol is attached to your mouse ready to place, use right click - Version - and pick the next version to place (so 2,3,4,5 etc). There maybe a setting for this to autoplace (similar to Capture) but I can't find anything yet.
