How to move pin names

[EveryReasonTo]

Hello, i have just built a custom component in multisim.
All is well and good until i place the component then set it so i can see pin names.
The pin names overlap the chip itself so i was wondering if there was a way to moves the pin name, or justify them to the right for example.
Thanks in advance, Thomas.

You can do this in the symbol editor. If you have already tried and it didn't work I have found that you must resize the boundary box in order to move the names. It will not allow you to move names out of this box and you also have to temporarily make them visible inside the symbol editor otherwise you can't click on them to move them.. You can try this and see if this will work the way you need.

This is the only method I know of to adjust the pin numbers and names.

Thankyou for the reply!

No luck still, when i go into symbol editor, i can't see an option anywhere to show pin names, i can see numbers though

Do you have the spreadsheet view active at the bottom of the screen? This should show the pin names and if you look to the right you will se where it says invisible or visable. That is where you select its viewing option.

Ah yes i see it now, just had to make them visible, now i can move them.
Thanks ever so much, i've been pulling my hair out over this!

Have a nice day to you too!

Your welcome. I would suggest watching the hair pulling as you might end up bald over time (Laughing)
