Placing and Editing Devices
Selecting a Device From a Library
To select a device from a library for placement in the schematic:
 If necessary, use the scroll bar to scroll the library’s parts list until the
desired part name is in view.
 Double-click on the part name in the list.
 Move the cursor to the current Schematic window.
The cursor will be replaced by an image of the selected device. While mov-
ing this flickering image around, you can use the arrow keys on the key-
board, or the orientation tools on the Tool Palette, to rotate the symbol.
Clicking anywhere in the circuit diagram will make a permanent copy of
the flickering device at that point.
NOTE: Holding down the key while clicking will inhibit checking for pin
connections. This allows you to select the device again and drag it to a new
position without affecting any existing connections.
Duplicating an Existing Device
To duplicate an existing device on the schematic, either:
 Select a similar device anywhere on the current circuit and use the
Duplicate command (either in the Edit menu or in the device pop-up
menu); or:
 Select a similar device in any other open circuit window and use the
Copy command. Return to the destination circuit window and select
the Paste command.
