Hi,
I'd like to automatically generate symbols for a bunch of schematics, while controlling which pins are on the left+right side.
Cadence's symbol generator lets me identify the left and right side pins in the dialog form. I wasn't sure if ADS had the same feature.
I'm using View / Create-Edit Schematic Symbol. I poked through the options and the help text, but didn't see anything that did this.
I could create the symbols and then move the pins around, but just wanted to see if there was a better way.
Thanks!

If several of your schematics can share the same symbol, then you can create that symbol one time and save it as MY_AMP_SYM etc. You can then re-use this symbol in your schematics by:
* Open a schematic
* File > Design Parameters...
* Type in the name of your symbol in the Symbol Name box(i.e. MY_AMP_SYM etc)
* Click OK.
You have now linked your symbol to this design. When you place this design in another schematic you will see that it uses your symbol (MY_AMP_SYM).
Just be careful with the pin numbers so that the symbol really matches the schematic port numbers.
