Hi,

I have some issues with the library editor, and I don't know whether
it's just me or whether the Library editor options are highly
confusing.

I have read the manual which seems to be fine, right up until the
"Edit pins part by part" option. When I have an IC with two parts (A
power symbol and the logic symbol) which is very common I add a new
set of pins making sure that the "Common to units" checkbox is not set
because I only want these pins to be placed on the part I am looking
at.

Then, I select Part B and I find that all the pins I've added have
been included on that part also. So now I have two identical pins that
I can move on either part even though the common to units checkbox is
not selected. These pins are clearly common to all units (or actually
parts) even though the checkbox is not checked.

So I need to select edit pins part by part and then delete all the
pins that I don't need from the second part.

Is it just me (it generally is! ;) or does this seem very illogical?
Is this actually the intended behaviour or is there a bug in the
common to units checkbox.

Maybe it is just the naming of checkboxes and options that is
confusing me a lot.

Best Regards,

Brian.
