The symbol generator is part of the component editor which came in version V18. Please find it in schematic menu Components/Special functions/Symbol-Generator. It eases the creation of symbols with many pins. It supports the creation of symbols with multiple gates (sub-symbols) as well. Each symbol - as soon as created - can be edited later independently from the functions of the generator. The Symbol-Generator opens in following view:

In the first line set the overall number of "Pins". This figure should include all sub-symbols (gates) if there are such. Now select the shape a pin shall have: neutral, male, female, ring, dot or box. The little green tick signals the currently chosen alternative.

Whether Pin names shall be visible besides the Pin number can be set by ticking the box accordingly. Whether the symbol shall be surrounded by a rectangular box, set the tick here. The arrangement of pins can happen: left, both sided, alternating (= zigzag) and all around. In general pin number 1 is located top in the west, while the row continues counter clockwise. If you tick the box "backward" pin 1 starts left in the north while the row continues clockwise.

Symbols means the general number of sub symbols of the component. Which sub symbol you currently see on screen please see in the lower part of the dialog, close to Symbol.

-Ob neben der Anschlussnummer noch '''Anschlussnamen''' sichtbar sein sollen, wählt man im kleinen Feld "Anschlussnamen". Soll das Symbol von einer rechteckigen Box umbgeben sein, setzt man den Haken hier. Die '''Anordnung''' der Pins kann geschehen: links, beidseitig, abwechselnd (= zickzack) und rundum. Grundsätzlich befindet sich der Pin Nummer 1 im Westen oben und die Reihe folgt dem umgekehrten Uhrzeigersinn. Setzt man einen Haken in die Box '''rückwärts''', beginnt die Reihe im Norden links mit Pin 1 und verläuft weiter im Uhrzeigersinn.
