If I create a single connector symbol with 10 pins, and I create a 10 pin connector consisting of 1 symbol representing 10 pins(hetero) and they are tied to one part, can I use both of them on the same design or would I have to choose to use one or the other?
I'm not sure how to create and get alternate symbols to work in the same design. It seems my only option is to use one symbol or the other.

Let's say that it is a 10 pin connector.
This will allow you to have both in the same part.
Hi Jeremy,
While searching for an answer I found your post and it seemed to be the answer I was looking for but I wasn't completely sure. The part I was not sure would work was the manually mapping the pins for the second symbol. Now I know I have to first build a gate with 10 slots than manually map my 10 pin connector and it would allow me to use either symbol in a schematic and have no conflicts, nice.
Thanks for the quick response.

Hi Jeremy,
is there anyway to automate that "manually map" work ? for 100 pin connector ..
do I need to create new slot and putpin for every pin ?
Thanks
Yes, for the 100 pin, single pin connector, you would add one gate, then add one slot/pin for each pin in the connector using add slot/put pin.
Hi Jeremy
please correct me if I'm wrong but in the manual action, in this case we only add new symbol WITHOUT creating new gate. ...why do we putgate with automation ? what is the difference between manual operation and automation behavior ?
