Computer-implemented systems and methods for manipulation of dynamic symbols for devices in an electrical schematic include: receiving a placement of a dynamic symbol in a schematic, wherein the dynamic symbol represents an instance of an electrical device in the schematic and is separate from a symbol library; receiving an assignment of nets to pins of the dynamic symbol instance; performing a manipulation of the pins based on a logical grouping, wherein the dynamic symbol instance supports dynamic reconfiguration of the pins via the manipulation while retaining pin information from a base symbol in the symbol library; and visually presenting the dynamic symbol instance with the manipulated pins according to the logical grouping.
