<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>See also [[Symbol / Gate swap]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> You can reach this mode...&lt;br&gt;<br /> with &#039;&#039;&#039;&quot;Pin Swap&quot;&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;&quot;Pad Swap&quot;&#039;&#039;&#039; in [[Menu Actions]] or&lt;br&gt;<br /> with the tools [[Image:PinSwap.jpg]] or [[Image:PadSwap.jpg]].&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> What is it for?<br /> <br /> Click this menu option if you want to swap two identical pins/pads of a symbol/package. Click the two [[pin]]s or [[pad]]s of the same symbol/package which you like to swap subsequently with [[Mousekeys|&#039;&#039;&#039;M1&#039;&#039;&#039;]]. Both pins need to have the same non-zero [[swap number]]. In the schematic only the two pin numbers are exchanged. In the PCB the connected tracks are dragged along like rubber tracks. <br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Caution: Short cuts are possible&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> The display of the ratsnest is caused by the swap itself and the question how densely the board is populated. Air wires are immediately rearranged after a pin/pad swap.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Ratsnest prior to pin/pad swap:&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Image:PadSwap1.jpg|none]]<br /> <br /> Ratsnest after pin/pad swap:&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Image:PadSwap2.jpg|none]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Leave this mode...&lt;br&gt;<br /> by &#039;&#039;&#039;[ESC]&#039;&#039;&#039; or [[Mousekeys|&#039;&#039;&#039;M12&#039;&#039;&#039;]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> [[de:Anschlusstausch und Lötpunkttausch]]<br /> [[fr:Permuter des broches et pastilles]]<br /> [[category:modes]]</div>
