Hello!
I'm quite new in DXDESIGNER (for expedition). I have the following problems:
1) I have a central library with my own symbol and parts. For specialized pin (like gnd and pwr) i have to load the builtin library (lying in the istallation directory of 2005EXP).
In the builtin I have only one pwr and gnd symbol: if i need two different gnd on my schematic (like AGND and DGND) what I have to do?
gnd symbol has the following attribute:
GND
NETNAME = GND
PINORDER = GND

The same is for PWR pin

2) Is it possible to create own specilized pin and add to central library (wich I menage with Library Manager)? Please could you indicate to me all I need to do this? (required attribute, etc)

3) for other components what's the meaning of the following attributes:
HETERO
LEVEL

Thanks in advance Maurizio

You will need to create a pin with a property "GlobalSignalName" (This property is amongst the pre-defined). My suggestion is to create a generic pins and then add the voltage or netname as the value for this property.
