This toolbar can be found in the schematic view and in the layout view.

If you hover the cursor over an icon, a little flag will announce its function. The icons are assigned bottom top according to the steps of drawing a part. Follow them one after the other so you will reach your target step by step. The magic wand keeps some automatic functions you might use - not necessarily all of them. You can choose:


Symbol Generator
Edit selected pin names in a text editor
Symbol via script
Order the pins according to a processor scheme
Create pins for BGAs
