Hi Stefania,

I like to define my own library elements. The PCB software I use is Ultiboard from National Instruments.

The CycloneII has several I/O groups, dedicated Clock and global signal pins, Special function pins, PLL Supply and Grounds etc.

It takes soem time to define your symbol but ik makes your design easy to read and give you good control over what you are doing. If you want I can send you a pdf page as example.

Regards,

Andries
