Does anyone know how to insert a symbol that connects to an i/o pinout
(which also compiles to a single through-hole pinout) on the schematic
editor in Altium Designer 6? Thanks.

Do you mean you want a 1 pin component on schematic to represent a pad
with plated hole on the board?

I made a schematic part with a single pin - possibly I just placed a
pin-with-circle in the sch library editor.  In the PCB library, I mad
a component consisting of a single pad, and used that as the footprint
for the one-pin schematic part.

Use a testpoint in schematic and pcb library. Result is 1 pad pth.

Surely it is irrelevant at schematic stage ?

Its only when you get to the PCB stage that its important.
The component yo uare using should have multi layer pads.

Those are quite the monster resistor symbols you have there!

For those with a curiosity about this vendor "Marra"
(aka Wrighty aka Nigel Wright aka nigelwright7557 aka ianbowskill2),
lately, his spamming has become a more cunning stunt
but, in fact, he only shows up to spam and he is still astroturfing
http://www.google.com/search?q=define:astroturfing
...and his ethics were clearly displayed long ago.

You guys are funny!
I almost commented, "It takes a computer to create such god awful ugly
schematics?" I thought I had seen some ugly schematics come out of CAD
systems (PADs Logic comes to mind right off the top of my head) but I have a
new Hall of Flame entry now.

I like the schematics, very clean and plenty opf room for adding extra
information.

I like plenty of room to add resistor value and wattage !
A simple value is meaningless.
