**[Wiring to component pins]**
When drawing a schematic that you want to successfully convert to a PCB or run in simulation, it is essential that **wires** are properly connected to **symbol pins**.
When a schematic component is selected, the connection node or Pindot at the end of every pin on that component is highlighted by a small grey dot.
In wiring mode, the Pindot highlights with a black dot whenever a wire is correctly placed on the end of a pin.
**[Placing symbol Pins]**
Symbols pins are the most import part of any Schematic Lib symbol. They are the things that allow wires to be attached to symbols to connect up your circuit.
You can use the **P** hotkey to add a pin or click on the **Place Pin** icon on the **[top toolbar]** that appears when working in the **New > Schematic Lib** or **New > Spice Symbol** canvas.
You can use the rotation hotkey, **Space** or **[Rotate and Flip]** from the **[top toolbar]** to rotate it to the right orientation. Make sure the Pindot (black dot) is in the right position. The Pindot will be used to connect your wires or netlabels. Whenever a Pin is either placed directly onto the canvas or as part of a symbol, when in wiring mode, the mouse **must** point to the Pindot position to automatically start the Wire mode or to join a wire to it.
Whenever a Pin is placed as part of a symbol, the Pindot should be outside of - and pointing away from - the symbol like example 1 of this **[image]** and not on, inside or pointing towards the symbol as shown in example 2.
