Different shapes with the same member?

Hi!

I'd like to make a resistor artifact in schematics 3.0. Is there a way to add both a European and an American circuit shape to it with the same ports and same name? If I put or copy the ports It always increments the name value by one, so on one shape it would be 1-2 on the other 3-4... The question is interesting in the x-ref shape area too, because if I'd like to make a cross reference shape of something it would normally have the same pin numbering than before, I cannot manage this now. How should these suppose to work out?

Thanks!

Laszlo

Laszlo,

Use "reassign shape" on the port when you create the shape.  This way you re-use the ports from the other shape.

Thanks,

Jeff!

Thanks for the fast answer again! I've quickly tried the reassign shape option, it works fine! Thanks again!

Regards!
