Pinout Defninition and creation tool.

Database>Pinouts

The pinouts tool works on two different levels:

  1. Creates a list based pinout that shows pin-for-pin connection data.
  2. Creates CAD previews of the list based pinout. This is useful for your pinouts drawings collections.
  3. Pinout data can be attached to cable data in the project. This allows you to create cable/conductor hierarchies.
