Create symbols (shapes) for components placed on schematics.
By creating symbols in advance, registration only needs to be done for components with the same shape, and there is the merit that it is possible to change all components that are linked at one time when the shape is changed.
Alternate Registration is possible for symbols, and it is possible to link different shapes such as positive logic symbols to negative logic symbols.

The following is the procedure for creating symbols.

STEP 1: Open the Create New screen for a symbol
STEP 2: Create a symbol shape
STEP 3: Place pins
STEP 4: Set the Origin Point
STEP 5: Configure Alternate Settings
STEP 6: Save
