  • Right-clicking the pin in the last 1/4 of the pin length away from the device displays the signal menu.
  • Right-clicking the pin close to the device symbol displays the pin menu.

Pin right-click menu

The pin right-click menu has the following commands:

GroundThis command grounds the pin. The attached signal is named GND if the pin is a power pin and it is name ‘0’ (zero) if the pin is a control input pin. The signal name must be kept be visible for forcing and guaranteeing its name.

the actual signal name is BLUEb.

Connecting Signals by Name

Signal names can be used to make logical connections between wires that are not visually connected on the schematic. Like-named signal traces on a single page are logically connected for simulation and netlisting purposes. Whenever a signal name is added or changed, the circuit is checked for a change in connectivity. If the name is now the same as another signal on this page, the two signals are merged into one. If this signal segment was previously connected by name to others and the name is changed, then the logical connection is broken.
