WeSpice Symbol Editor
Lindentree Software
How To
- Pan and zoom - With two fingers. If a zero-size item is active (like "Text"), one-finger pan also works.
- Add stuff - The list on the right selects what to add. Tap where you want to add it.
- Select stuff - Long press on one item. Next items can be selected with short press or dragging (for area selection).
If "Select" is active, short press and area selection are directly active.
- Edit an item - Double-tap on it. Or select it and choose EDIT.
- Draw lines at any angle - There is an option (in Settings - Editors) allowing this.
It will also enable ARCs of less than 45 degrees (just try them).
- What's with instance name and attributes - These set the position of the instance name and attributes when this symbol is placed in a schematic.
The attributes can have more lines, added under the one defined here. You can only have one of each.
- Select component type - In the menu. It's important to set this before you instantiate the symbol in a schematic.
- Choose symbol pin names - The pin names of the built-in components are fixed in WeSpice.
You can see these pin names when you choose the component type, or just inspect the supplied pre-built symbols.

The symbol you create must have the exact same pin names. WeSpice will check this when the symbol is saved and issue a warning if it's not OK.
You can hide the pin names when the symbol is instanced in a schematic (option in the overflow menu).
- Get pins from schematic - Menu > Build from schematic. It will make a new rectangular symbol from scratch.
- Smoother dragging - Turning off the grid helps.
Files
- The symbol is saved in "Symbol.sys".
- Temporary and undo information is maintained in "Symbol.wip.sys"
