1. Creating Symbol Libraries

l Symbol Librarys
A collection of symbol figures (symbol sheets) required for circuit design is
stored in a specific directory. The directory containing these symbol figures
(symbol sheets) is referred to as a symbol library.
A series of symbol libraries is used for storing and managing symbol sheets for
specific applications or purposes.
For example, you can create user-specific and manufacturer-specific symbol
libraries. When you create a schematic, you can select different symbol libraries for each purpose to use stored symbol figures for that schematic.

Chapter 3 Creating Symbols
3-1
Before the symbol figures (symbol sheets) in created symbol libraries can be
used to create a schematic, the symbol libraries must be registered with their
pathnames defined as the symbol search paths in the data resource file
(landata.rsc) to be referenced for each schematic directory.
Symbol libraries and symbol search path have the following relationships.

Each symbol figure placed on a schematic sheet has the referenced symbol sheet
file name (-.smb) and the symbol search path number. If you change symbol search
path settings inadvertently, therefore, the symbol sheet cannot be referenced.

l Master and Local Operations of Symbol Libraries

Symbol libraries can serve either as the common symbol libraries to be shared
by schematic directories ("Master operation") or as the dedicated symbol libraries to be used only for the schematic directory containing the schematic
currently being edited ("Local operation").
[Master operation]
Symbol libraries commonly used for different schematics are master symbol libraries.
Common symbol libraries
A.cir / 001.sht
SymbolA / A.smb
:
SymbolB / B.smb
:
SymbolC / C.smb
/ SymbLib
landata.rsc
B.cir / 001.sht
landata.rsc
For master, or common symbol libraries, create a directory for storing symbol libraries and create the individual symbol libraries in that directory. Register these symbol
libraries by defining their pathnames as user-specified symbol search paths in the
data resource file (landata.rsc) (that follow the second entry).
[Local operation]
Local symbol libraries are the symbol files or symbol libraries specified as the current
or local directory to be used for a specific schematic directory.
Symbol search path [0] is system-fixed as the current directory. Symbols are created
and referenced at the same level as the schematic directory.
~ / user1 / KAIROA
A.cir / 001.sht

B.smd
For local symbol libraries, create symbol libraries at the same level as the schematic
directory and create symbols in these libraries for reference. Since this type of symbol
library operation facilitates management of the schematic and symbols, it is recommended for creating specific symbols.

2. Registering Symbols
l Symbols
Each symbol sheet is created with a file name of [symbol-name.smb] in a symbol library. For the symbol, enter the symbol figure, the pins for connecting a
net, and the property viewers for displaying the properties, such as the part
name and function name, and the reference (reference name).
Reference
Part name
Pin
What is the property

viewer?
The property viewer
is an object for
displaying a property
value.
Function name
For each symbol, some properties must be assigned to the symbol sheet and
symbol pins so that net list output and DRC check can be executed when the
schematic has been created.
Properties and property viewers added to symbol sheets

1.Reference(reference)
The reference for each component is the identification number assigned to the
component.
Examples are IC1, IC2, ..., R1, R2, ..., C1, C2, ...
Each reference name identifies a single component.
2.Part name (partName)
The name of each component.
Part names serve as keywords when data is forward/back-annotated to/from
Board Designer or PWS.
3. Function name (function)
When a component is expressed in internal gate units, the function name for
each gate is used as the name representing the gate.
Function names are referenced when data is forward/back-annotated to/from
Board Designer or PWS.

that is represented as multiple component
cells (symbols)
Components that only have power supply and
ground pins
A component in a hierarchical structure,
allowing you to change view to lower
hierarchical levels.
The component representing a power supply.
The component representing the ground.
The component representing a short symbol.
The component connecting different
hierarchical levels.
The component connecting different sheets.
The component that is a gate having
a hierarchical structure.
The component that is a part having
a hierarchical structure.
The following types of components are referenced for net list output:
lPart
lShort-circuit
lGate
lHierarchicalconnector
lPower box
lSheet connector
lBlock
lGate & Block
lPower
lPart & Block
lGround
What is a short symbol?
A short symbol is used, for example, when you want to insert a net name along the
net as a comment. Since the individual nets connected to pins on each symbol
have their unique net names assigned, they are output to a net list as different nets.
Setting the component type to [Short-circuit] allows the nets to be output as the
same nets.
Different nets

5.Function type
The function type of a component identifies the component's function. For
example, even two components whose component types are "Part" can be
distinguished from each other by their function types if they differ in function,
such as a resistor and a capacitor.
Function types are defined in the following definition file, including the
headers (initial letters) of the references assigned automatically by
Gate Packager, reference auto-generation, or via the component
selection dialog.
Function type definition file: $ZDSROOT/etc/CompKind
DEFAULT LOGIC
JUMPER
POWER BOX
RESISTOR-R, etc.

l Notes
1.The reference files referenced by Sheet Editor for registering symbols are the
environment resource file (lanenv.rsc) and data resource file (landata.rsc).
These are master resource files, allowing symbols to be created always in the
sameenvironment.
The master resource files are:
$ZDSROOT/info/lanenv.rsc (environment resource file)

$ZDSROOT/info/landata.rsc (data resource file)
The master resource files can be edited only by the system administrator.
See Also
For information on resource file operation, see "Chapter 2 2. Resource Files" in the "Master
Training/Circuit Design" manual (this manual).
2.When you perform circuit design using the component library for schematic
design (LCDB), symbols reflect the LCDB definitions for their properties such
as part names and function names. In this case, you may enter only property
viewers without setting the properties themselves on symbol sheets.
If a part name or function name has been set on a symbol sheet, these settings on
the symbol sheet are ignored; information in the component library for schematic
design (LCDB) is used instead.
Reference
Part name
Pin label
Pin number
Function name
3.Before registering a symbol, you should determine the specifications such as

the sheet size and pin pitch. Individual symbols cannot be scaled on the schematic sheet.

l Invoking the Schematic Symbol Registration Tool

Try invoking the schematic symbol registration tool (Sheet Editor).
1. On the Components Manager panel, click on the schematic symbol
registration tool start button
.
Sheet Editor will be invoked.
A System Designer tool,

Sheet Editor, is used as
the schematic symbol
registration tool.
The symbol paths to the symbol libraries listed in the Select Symbol Path
option list in Components Manager are defined in the master data resource
file ($ZDSROOT/info/landata.rsc).
If you select a symbol library

(directory) here, the schematic symbol registration
tool (Sheet Editor) will start
up in that directory.

In this lesson, you will create a new symbol library in a non-listed directory; you
cannot select any symbol library from the current option list.

l Examples
In the lesson in "2. Registering Symbols," you practiced registering a 3-pin gate
symbol. There are other types of symbols as classified into component types,
to each of which convenient commands for registration and items to note are
applicable.
The remainder of this chapter provides examples of registering an IC part symbol, discrete resistor symbol, power box symbol, and sheet frame symbol,
along with some tips for registering symbols.
