        Why? You want to clearly see from schematic where each pin is connected. It’s very important when checking schematic and connections.
    </div>
</div>


TIP #060: Use the same number of Pins and Pads between Schematic Symbol and Footprint

        Why? Everyone reading your schematic will know how accurate it is and if they should report you any possible mistakes.

TIP #062: On the cover page, include status of the schematic

        Why? If you do not follow VIA ratio recommendations, it may not be possible to manufacture your PCB.
