Mixed part types with multi-part components?


 

Arg... this is driving me nuts.

For the past two weeks, I have buckled down to create the parts libraries I need. This seems to be a nightmare for every program I try, like they assume the parts you need are already there.

I have made some multi-part profiles which have turned out well. The problem seems to be when I am making a component which has multiple parts, but they aren't all the same. For instance, tonight I am trying to make a big library of transistor and diode arrays that I use. Now I am trying to enter a device (THAT 340) which has two NPN transistors, and two PNP transistors. I define pins 1-3 as NPN for Part A, but then when I define pins 5-7 as PNP for Part B, I go back and it has overwritten the PNP for PART A also! I cannot imagine any reason why this would happen. They have their own pin numbers! If I change the part for pins 5-7 why would it assume that I am changing pins 1-3 which I have already done?

The only workaround I can think of for now is just using a monolithic block and naming the pins for the whole device. It's easy, but it makes the schematics messy. Any ideas? Am I missing something here?

Thanks!
