Pin Connection Functions

Pin models allow multiple figures per pin, as well as multiple pins per terminal.

Figures (instances, shapes and vias) can be added to a pin. Pins can be created with 0 to n figures attached. When writing SKILL code, pins can be initially create with no figures. You can then add or remove figures from the pins in subsequent calls.

Do not leave pins without a figure attached. Creating a pin without a figure is intended to be a transitional state, not a permanent, or saved state.
You can indicate a must connect by setting the mustJoin attribute on the terminals.
