Hi Kathy - if you give the pads on the switch, you want to be tied together, the same numbers (ie two pin 1's) you can route them together. The software doesn't know how many pin 1's or pin 2's etc. there should be on a part.

I want a track to connect the pins so that I can use either side of the part to route, (also some suppliers of this part only provide non linked switches, where the active pins may be diagonal or vertical). Now when I place the track in the library, it comes up on the PCB as a violation, I have gone to the netlist manager and told it to update free primitives from component pads, but this does not seem to do the trick :( I am not sure how to proceed. Any suggestions ? -- Regards, Kat. --------------------------------------------------------------- K.A.Q.
