Hello Tim, I tried the method you outlined below and it does work as long as I click the right mouse button in the schematic after brining up the Make Matching Symbol dialog box.
Regarding how I was adding schematic links to symbols, I was just adding a parameter "link" to the symbol and making sure the symbol name and schematic names are the same. I have tryied two methods for creating the symbol parameter "link", one is to parameterise the text "%n" when adding an Info Label, and the other is to use the P dialog box and using the New button. Regards, Colin >> . . .I decided to try the procedure described in the Large Project >> Tutorial for creating a symbol from an existing schematic hoping to get >> Load Dependencies to work. First I renamed the existing symbol and >> saved the technology file to eliminate any naming conflict. Then from >> the Netlist menu I selected Make Matching Symbol and after a fair amount >> of delay the dialog box opened up. I moved the pins around to my liking >> and pushed the Apply button.
