Concept HDL: pin number visibility, and others

archive

hi

i am learning the concept HDL schematic design.(15.7) until now I used 6 different schematics editors (one editor for 1...60 projects, mostly Altium Designer), but i never had these problems.

how can i make all pin numbers to be visible in the concept hdl, without setting them separatelly?
in the software manual, they say "after packaging" and "after backannotating"...
but i want to see them during I create the design, not after. after its too late to see them.
anyway, what is "to package the design"? and how can i backannotate anything if noone started designing the layout, because the schematics is not finished (not even started)?...
is it possible to  put the first component in the schema, with the pin numbers already visible?

the other thing: i have a reference design given in .CSA files, 100 of them. how can I just open them?

how can I change a footprint on a component, which is already in the schematics? with a browser, where i can see what i get...  for example i want to change a capacitor package to a bigger one...

"PATH" is the refdes?

    Create a dummy project; all the way to creating a schematic; Save a Page 1

    Put all the .CSA files in the SCH folder

    They will open. :) These are simply the ASCII formatted files for the schematic pages. This is how I supply updated pages to customers. They simply delete the .csb, css and csp files; and save my new .csa files.

    This is also a way to open older version Concept schematics. Newer versions will open older .csa schematic. I used to do this converting UNIX schematics to Windoze. :)

    Good day.
