Alternate pin assignment

Hello!

Thanks, that’s exactly what I expected.
Instead of displaying up to 5 ~ 6 different options, it would be a lot better to display tje pin I’m actually
using, for instance only UART_TX as in your example. And I would also like to add an NC option.

Anyway I must be missing something. I configured it my lib and it doesn’t reflect in the schematic
even if I update the lib.

Ok, I will be a bit more specific. I’m making a new symbol for MSP430F5438, an older beast.


Pin 1 is port 6.4, and its alternate usage is analog 4. I have therefore renamed P6.4/A4 to P6.4
and added an alternate pin name, A4 which is an input only (ADC input).

Now in the schematic I had started, if I update the library, I can be sure that it has actually been
upgraded since the corner pin 1 is now P6.4, and the A4 has disappeared.

Now my problem is: how can I do in the schematic to show the alternate pin name, A4 only?

Thanks for any hint.

Update: I found the trick!

The first image below shows an empty row in the alternate assignments.
But by clicking as mentioned above, there is indeed a menu. Might be good to add something like
“click to change default” or something like that. But maybe it’s only me…
Here is the selector pane, and a view of the result.
