How to add or customize Schematic Pins?

[drc_98]

Hi,

Besides the pins from "basic" library, is it possible to add a few your
own pins? We would like to differentiate vdd and vss pins by their
appearances for better readability.

Thanks

David

just add a what ever pin u want by creat a new cell with symbol view is
fine.
u can draw the symbol whatever u want. also, if want change the
symbol's
default color, u can edit the tf file or display.drf to change it.

Look in <instdir>/tools/dfII/samples/local at the file schConfig.il .
This shows how to set various SKILL variables to control schematic-related
things.

Take a copy of this file, and modify the variable schPinMasters. Then
make sure your copy is loaded from your .cdsinit file, and you'll then have
the additional pin choices available on the create pin form.

Regards,

Andrew.
