Component Editor Pin Manager

#1 Post by LarryA » 11 Mar 2016, 04:55

One quick suggestion for the Pin Manager ...

I use a lot of high pin count IC's (100, 144, and getting worse) and if the component is not in the general library I need to create it.
It takes a very, very long time to enter all the pin names, characteristics, check box values, etc for these parts!

A spreadsheet or .CSV import option to bulk upload all those fields would save me hours and hours (and hours) of work ...

Would the BSDL import tool help in this situation?

That looks like a solution, I can download BSDL files from at least one of my major chip suppliers.
I will try that on my next design.

Thanks for all your help!
