Clear All Filters
To clear ALL the filters (including the search) you can either right-click on the filter pane or press the ESC key on your keyboard.
Favourites
You can create a list of Favourite components that you use most often. By using the Favourites filter in the Filter Pane you have a very quick
way to get at the components you need with the minimum of effort.
To mark a component as a favourite, simply click on the 'star' icon in the top-left corner of the component as it appears in the toolbox. The
star is now highlighted.
To remove a component from the favourites list all you need to do is click the 'star' icon again.
Display Scale
All items in the toolbox are displayed to scale. This makes it much easier to identify components by their appearance.
You can set the scale by using the slider at the bottom of the toolbox.
You can also change the scale in regular steps by using the cursor Left and Right keys on the keyboard.
Changing the scale to its lowest level will show only the component names in the toolbox. This is useful if you prefer browsing by text only.
Local Toolbox
Sometimes you may prefer to work from a more limited set of components. This is often the case for educators who don't want their students
to be overwhelmed by the vast array of components on offer. You can do this by creating what we call a Local Toolbox.
A Local Toolbox is a reduced toolbox that is specific to a schematic. It will save with the schematic and it will only appear when that
schematic is the one you're using. If you switch schematics the toolbox will switch too.
Creating a Local Toolbox
There are two ways to do this. The first way is to select the components in the schematic that you want to have in your toolbox then choose
Create Local Toolbox from the Schematic menu or press SHIFT + CTRL + T.
The toolbox will change so it only contains the modules and primitives that you selected. The Tag Bar is automatically hidden as components
in the Local Toolbox don't have tags.
