This is the most specific, leaving nothing ambiguous or, God forbid, hidden, on the schematic. that said, anyone looking at this part drawing and the part datasheet and losing their mind over not being able to find pin 1234 and pin 678 on a 3.3mm square 8 pin SON with ground pad, is going to be having plenty of other problems with any schematic they are given.ġ. et voilà it's a shame that I can't have commas in there to separate the pins. The weird visual thing here is that of course your multi pin will get a junction placed on it when it's simply connecting to a single wire. I can then lay all the pins together and I expect that in the schematic they will all get connected together as one. making sure the electrical snap point of each is in the same position. (maybe i should read threads here more often.) I can go in and edit each pin and set the pin number position to have each number away from the others (spacing of 6 seems to work for me) Then set the length of ALL those pins to be at a multiple of 10 longer than the biggest pin number position, and then stack all the pins of the same net on top of each other. though this thread made me think about it. I don't feel good about it, but it works.
here's something I did recently for a part that's 2 mosfets mashed together in 1 nine-pin (well, 8 pins plus a gnd pad) package. better to just stick with 3 pins doing the same thing in a schematic. But that'd be a new feature in altium, and who knows what else it would break. I can imagine a single pin with multiple pin numbers beside it (say 1,2,3) would do the job and not kill anyone.
