Hi Stefan, we have pinlabels and pinnumbers, I guess your speaking about pinnumbers?

Yes, the footprints are properties of a package. And a package has pin numbers like 1,2,3 for simple parts. You can still add the pinlabels to transistor pins. But as everybody can distinguish the different pins in a symbol, it's not necessary to make them visible. On the other side, the pinlabels are useful when your editing a symbols with a text editor. > What is your advice? Is there a fixed correlation between numbers and > letters, i.e. "B" = "1", ... I'm using BCE as pinnumber attributes as long the footprint of the device (transistor) is not defined. Thus it's easy to replace them when adding a footprint.
