a new component related to the catalog table you want to edit, or pick
an existing component of that type to edit with the Edit Component

catalog table for standard red pilot lights (LT1R). Use AutoCAD Electrical
to insert a new red pilot light symbol, or edit a red pilot light symbol.

triggered AutoCAD Electrical to open the desired catalog table.

to add a new item or select Edit Catalog
Entry
to edit the selected database record. AutoCAD Electrical
displays the new or existing catalog record in a dialog box.

Entry dialog box.
