6. Working With Schematic Components
Schematic components are "containers" which hold a symbol and a schematic in one file.
You can...
- Save a symbol from one schematic component to another.
- Save a symbol from a global symbol library to a schematic component
- File > Save Schematic As... just saves the schematic. File > Save Special... saves both schematic and symbol.
Key points:
- Symbols must have the same number of pins with the names as the underlying schematic.
- Library symbols will need modification to call a schematic component in the netlist. Model = X, add parameters, etc.
