Hello all,
I am using V3.4 of X-Circuit. I am having a problem
creating a virtual symbol (in my library) that has
different PCB netlist pin numbers. I create a symbol
and assign the netlist pin numbers (using the 'T'
command). I then use the 'V' command to create a
virtual symbol. When I edit the virtual symbol (using
the '>' command, changing the pin numbers and exiting
with the '<' command), the pin numbers on both the
virtual symbol and the original symbol change. The
following is what I have in my .ps file for this symbol:
/LM258 {
<</U (?) >> begingate

} def
/LM258 libinst
I am not sure if I am doing this properly. I read
through the tutorials and can not find documentation
on how to change the netlist pin numbers on a virtual
symbol. What are the commands that I need to use in
order to create a virtual symbol with different pin
numbers?
On the virtual symbol I need to change pins 7,5,6 to
1,3,2 respectively and remove pins 4 and 8 from the
virtual symbol.
Thank you for your help.
Dave M.
