This entry corresponds to the Description property in the Pin Properties dialog. This entry corresponds to the Display Name property in the Pin Properties dialog. A hidden pin is automatically connected to other hidden pins with the same name and to nets with the same name when a net-list is created. Note that while the pin name is optional, it is required when the pin is going to be hidden. Each pin in a part must have a unique designator. Designator - the numerical identifier of the pin.

For each pin, the following information is displayed:

Pin Grid - this area presents all pins for the component.

Schematic Library Editor - double-click on the component's entry in the Components region of the SCH Library panel to access the Library Component Properties dialog, then click the Edit Pins button at the bottom-left of the dialog.

Schematic Editor - double-click on the required placed component to access the Properties for Schematic Component dialog, then click the Edit Pins button at the bottom-left of the dialog.

The Component Pin Editor dialog is accessible from both the Schematic Editor and the Schematic Library Editor: In addition to providing a means of editing pin properties, the dialog allows you to add new pins or delete existing ones. It provides a single, convenient location for you to modify certain properties of any pin associated to that component. This dialog presents all pins for either the component in the active Schematic Library document, or a placed component (or part thereof) in the Schematic Editor.
