I find myself doing both approaches depending on what kind of components they are. Often I do physical position symbols just to "git 'er done" and I've found that this helps me think about layout issues earlier in the design process, as well as aiding in finding signals during hardware debug. > What do you do about parts that have different pinouts depending on what > package they're in? True. The other side of this coin though is complex parts like MCUs or FPGAs where the pins can have different functions depending on programming. For these parts, functional grouping is somewhat more nebulous. Isn't it nice to have the option to do either?
