PinSwapper_Dlg-ConfigureAllPinSwapConfigure Swapping Information in Components_AD
Summary
The Configure Swapping Information in Components lists all components used in the design (or library), with their current swap settings. From this dialog, you can also access the Pin Swapping for Component dialog whose additional columns allow you to enable/disable swapping for each component on the board.
To learn more, refer to the Pin Pair and Part Swapping article.
Access
The Configure Swapping Information in Components dialog is found in the tools menu of the Schematic, Schematic Library and PCB editors under Tools » Configure Pin Swapping.
Options/Controls
Component Information
Displays all relevant information about the listed components: designator, comment, footprint, library reference, number of pins, and number of parts.
Configure in Schematic
-
Pin Swap Data - displays how many of the component's pins have been added to a pin-swap group. For example, [3/2] means that 2 out of 3 pins have been added to a pin-swap group. The icon appears when a component has been modified to add pins to a pin-swap group. When a component has been modified to remove pins from the pin-swap group, the icon appears.
-
Part Swap Data - displays how many of the component's parts have been added to a part-swap group. For example, [3/2] means that 2 out of 3 parts have been added to a part-swap group.

Enable in PCB
- Pin Swap - Enable or disable pin swapping for each component by checking the box . The swap will take effect once you click OK and exit the dialog.
- Part Swap - Enable or disable part swapping for each component by checking the box . The swap will take effect once you click OK and exit the dialog.
Configure Component
- Only Show Components with Swap Information - Prevent the dialog from displaying components which have not been configured to enable pin and/or part swapping.
Right-Click Menu
The Configure Swapping Information in Components dialog includes a powerful right-click menu, making it very easy to quickly copy and paste the settings from one component to another, or enable/disable multiple components in a single click. Select Configure Component from the right click menu to open the Pin Swapping for Component dialog for that component, where you can define the swap group settings for pins, differential pairs, and subparts. Double clicking on the component will also open the Pin Swapping for Component dialog.
