Does anyone know if it is possible, or if there is a good way, of creating a schematic symbol that maps to a footprint that has pins that can be moved? I have a panel mount pushbutton switch that is used a lot and it is connected to the PCB via wires so I like to arrange the pads such that they make dressing the wires neat and orgainized. Unfortunately it is different for just about every design I do that uses it.
They way I do it now is I just create a box in the schematic in the shape of the switch and use individual test points as the connections. It works and doesn't look -too- bad but my client wants to see a symbol that looks like a switch and shows the pins that are associated with the pole and each throw. This particular switch has 3 poles and another one has 4.
