Hi Nurina,

Thanks, what i did was wire 2x "or8" gates into a "or2", making a 16 input or gate.
It took me a while to realise i had to add in/out pins to the gates and label them etc. (because my first symbol was an empty box).

Then i discovered after creating the symbol file that i also had to create a verilog file too. (i learned this from somebody's online school project).

Are there intel links to this information please?

Hi again,

I also noticed that i can only use primitive devices to make my own symbol files. If i use simple and,or,not gates it works, but if i decide to include any of the 74xx chips into the symbol design then there are errors and it wont compile.

Is there a way to use the 74xx chips in my symbol file?, or is there a way to view the internal primitives of the 74xx chip to let me cut & paste into my own design file?

Thank you.
