Capture - Making new part editing pin names while placing new pin

Sagetech

Looks like Cadence has changed the Capture library symbol editor so that you can no longer right click to edit a pin name while placing consecutive new pins?

Example, I place pin 1 named "B1" . Next is pin 2 which comes up automatically but I don't want the pin name to be "B2" I want it to be "FGZ". Used to be I could right click, change the pin name and continue placing pins.

Now when I right click it gives me the option to end mode - no way to edit the name. So I need to place the pin and then select it to edit the name? Can't edit it on the fly anymore.....?

Am I missing something?

    No answers? Kind of annoying that I need to end each pin and start a new one just to change the pin name. Used to be a right click would give you the option to change the pin name when placing pins.
