The pinouts tool works on two different levels:
- Creates a list based pinout that shows pin-for-pin connection data.
- Creates CAD previews of the list based pinout. This is useful for your pinouts drawings collections.
- Pinout data can be attached to cable data in the project. This allows you to create cable/conductor hierarchies.
