Schematic Symbols

Schematic symbols are automatically created during the libImport or die export process. The terminal names used for these symbols must be available when the symbols are created. When Allegro views are used, the terminal name information is provided by component definitions. When the views are created by exporting a die, the information is extracted from an IC layout. When the symbols are created by the CSV import flow, the information is provided through a mapping file provided by the customer.

Schematic symbols can be split to enhance the readability of schematics. You can manually split the symbols in Virtuoso Schematic Editor, or they can be automatically split during the import process.
