How to quickly, reliably and easily compare Altium symbol pinout with a part's datasheet pinout

 

Among other tasks, I often design circuits using Altium.  Verifying the pinout of high pin-count devices is a real hassle, that I wanted to make easier.   To do this quickly, I realized I could have somebody read off the pin names.  It's much easier than looking back and forth.  That works well if you have somebody around to assist you.  But I didn't.  So, I figured there must be a way to get the computer to read to me.  And... voila!  I came up with a technique that's fast and easy.

Watch this video.  Then grab the script here, and you should be good to go.
