Locating a Pin by Copying or Connecting

Model Reference Manual

Interacting with a Graphical View : D Pins : Locating a Pin by Copying or Connecting

A pin’s position and direction can be set by copying or connecting to any other p-point or pin, the only difference being that the CONNECT operation orientates the specified pin in the opposite direction (see examples below).


Examples:
PIN 5 C0PY IDP @	Pin 5 will be placed at the same position and orientation as the p-point or pin hit by the cursor.
PIN 5 CONNECT TO PH	Pin 5 will be placed at the Branch Head, but pointing in the opposite direction to HDIR (Head direction). This command must be given at BRANCH level. Pin 5 can be an existing pin or a new one.
