STM32U5G9VJT6Q Schematic symbol not generating and PDF pin names not copyable

Hi,

I am using a STM32U5G9VJT6Q and need the Altium symbol. Because it is a relatively large IC I would rather copy-paste the names and pin numbers pairs to avoid any errors (not out of laziness), but:

- if I copy and paste the pin names (or any other data) from the PDF datasheet, when I paste them they all paste as a the same character: a question mark inside a square box

- I tried downloading it from the STM32 page but most of the time it does not generate the symbol (I tried multiple browsers and multiple computer but it just does not download them). When it finally downloaded, it actually generates a script and the script generates the wrong pinout. For example pins 6 and 12 (for the LQFP-100 with DSI) should beVDD11DSI but the generated symbol sets them as OSCI and VBAT... And the same for other pins...

(As a side note... What is the point of having such symbol generating tool if it generates a completely wrong symbol...?)

Are there any other places/resources where I can cut and past pin name and number from?

Thank you

    Hello,

    >> - if I copy and paste the pin names (or any other data) from the PDF datasheet, when I paste them they all paste as a the same character: a question mark inside a square box

     

    I attach a csv file generated from the STM32CubeMX => Pinout => Export pinout :

    If you create the symbol/footprint with Ultralibrarian, there is a "Model Feedback" button.

    Thank you @Mike_ST 

    I saw this after posting just now a new thread about that micro showing not supported in CubeIDE (according to a message in CubeMX). Which, as shown by your post, is clearly not so.

    What do I need to do to start a project using that micro? Download some other data pack perhaps?

    Thank you

    Ok I see your other post,

    in theory, STM32U5G9VJT6Q is supported and the "next" button should be clickable.

    So it is not clear why you can't.

    Click "Help" in menu bar, try to do the "check for target selector database update".

    Again in "Help", "Manage embedded software packages" and install the latest for STM32U5.

    If that still doesn't work perform a "Check for updates" as well.

    Hope that helps.
