Terminal

Layer

Specifies the layer-purpose pair for the pin.

Width

Specifies the width of the pin.

Height

Specifies the height of the pin.

Create Label As

Specifies whether a pin label is created when the pin is generated. You can choose to create either a Label object or a Text Display.

Label drives connectivity by providing connectivity-related information. They can be copied to different cellviews. However, they can become outdated if the connectivity changes on the shapes to which they are attached. Text Display is driven by connectivity and they show current connectivity. This is why, when you change a net on the associated shape or pin, the display updates with the new net, indicating the shapes connectivity. Text displays cannot copied to different cellviews.

Options

Opens the Soft Block Global Options form where you can set the size, font, style, justification and orientation of the label lettering, and the drawing or pin layer on which the labels are displayed.

Environment variable: initIOLabelType

I/O Type

Assigns a property used by routers to identify the direction of the signal into or out of the pin. The signal can be input, output, inputOutput (bidirectional), switch (carries data either in or out but not simultaneously), jumper (passes data through the pin), tristate, or unused.

Access Direction

Assigns a property used to identify the part of the pin to which routers can connect routing. The access direction can be Top, Bottom, Left, Right, Any, or None.
