Abstract
An embodiment of the invention introduces a method for generating schematic diagrams, executed by a processing unit of an apparatus, which comprises the following steps. A pin-editing interface comprising a data table is generated to assist a user to configure pin settings. A user setting is obtained via the pin-editing interface, and a schematic diagram is generated on a display unit according to the obtained user setting.
Claims16
A method for generating schematic diagrams, executed by a processing unit of an apparatus, comprising:
- generating, by the processing unit of the apparatus, a pin-editing interface comprising a data table to assist a user to configure pin settings, wherein the data table comprises a pin name column, a recommended net name column and a confirmation column, and the pin-editing interface comprises a first button and a second button;
- and
- directing, by the processing unit of the apparatus, a display unit to duplicate data of the pin name column into cells of the confirmation column when detecting that the first button is pressed;
- directing, by the processing unit of the apparatus, the display unit to duplicate data of the recommended net name column into cells of the confirmation column when detecting that the second button is pressed;
- obtaining, by the processing unit of the apparatus, a user setting via the pin-editing interface;
- and
- generating, by the processing unit of the apparatus, a schematic diagram on the display unit according to the user setting, wherein the schematic diagram comprises a component, and the component comprises a net name, a net symbol, an in-page I/O symbol and a cross-page I/O symbol associated with a pin.
