Re: gEDA-user: Symbol style recommendations

[Josh Jordan <outerspaceman81@xxxxxxxxx>]

   I prefer to use actual pinouts in my schematics for two reasons: It
   helps you with chip placement because naturally you will tend to place
   symbols and lines to get the fewest line crossings.  Going to layout
   after you have already decided the best general position for parts
   makes it much easier.  The second reason is that later on it will be
   easy to look back to a schematic that has a similar layout as the
   board and the same pinouts.

   Hello!
   I have done some symbols (microprocessors etc.) using the djboxsym
   tool and I have put the signals as they are located on the real chip
   (i.e. correct pin number order).
   I have now looked at some of your schematics and see that some of
   you have grouped the signals more logical (i.e. PA0-7, VCC, GND
   etc.) together..
   This seems very handy when drawing the schematics but I wonder if
   there are any problems with this method?
   As I understand, as long as you define what chip type it is it will
   be resolved and correctly translated once you generate the PCB.
   Best regards,
   Peter
