	This is a function you need while drawing a new component. It is used because a [[component]] in the [[schematic]] ~~contains at least~~ one or more symbols, e. g. gates. A symbol is made of several [[drawing]] [[element]]s (lines, pins etc.~~.), which have been composed to a complete [[signal]] sometime ago with the help of this menu command, or it needs to be composed to a complete signal (recreation of a component~~). Select the ~~respective drawing~~ elements which should belong to a symbol and use this function.		This is a function you need while drawing a new component. It is used because a [[component]] in the [[schematic]] may consist of one or more (sub-) symbols, e. g. gates. A (sub-) symbol is made of several [[drawing]] [[element]]s (lines, pins etc.) Select the drawn elements which should belong to this (sub-) symbol and now use this function.

	The symbol number should start with '''one''' in any case. The suffix is the designator of this symbol (for example: a ~~bei~~ IC1a). [[TARGET 3001!]] automatically increase the symbol number and the suffix when a new symbol is created. The swap number can only be inserted afterwards by a click with '''[[M11]]''' on the symbol handle. A value other than 0 (zero) means: Symbols in a [[component]] with the same swap number can be exchanged (symbol change, gate change).

	For the fact that already three capacitors have been used in this schematic example, the new one gets number four (= it's component name).

	~~The following picture shows the '''library browser''' in [[TARGET 3001!]] '''V14''' and earlier where a view of the symbol as well as the [[package]] is given (toggle both):<br>~~


	~~[[Image:E_LibBrwsDLG2.jpg\|none]]~~


	To the left you see the symbol or the [[package]] of the symbol. After confirming the import dialog, the first symbol of the [[component]] is inserted to the [[schematic]]. The outline of the symbol is attached to the cursor (move mode) and can be placed once or several times by [[Mousekeys\|'''M1''']]. Click [[Mousekeys\|'''M2''']] during the import process to rotate the symbol if necessary. Your cursor gets rid of the [[component]] by pressing [[Mousekeys\|'''M12''']]. The component is automatically numbered consecutively (for example: . C1, C2...). If the symbol includes also text, the following replacements are made:
	*the name !COMPONENT or a text which is saved as the component name is replaced by a component designator (IC1, R1, C1,...);
	*the name !SYMBOL or a text which is saved as the symbols name is replaced by a symbol designator (IC1a, IC1b,...);
	*the name !VALUE or a text which is saved as the component value is replaced with a component value (4000, R, C,...). The component values eg 4000 or R should be changed afterwards to CD4000 and 4k7 with a click on [[Mousekeys\|'''M11''']] on the symbol handle. With this function, only symbols with the attribute: "Import Rest of Components" are inserted from the library (for example both NOR-gates of the CMOS 4000).<br>



	~~== Last 20 components used ==~~

	This feature eases the import of [[component]]s enormously, when you are handling lots of components in one [[project]]. The 20 lately components used are listed for a quick mouse click selection. It appears after click on the "Insert symbol" function unless you didn't deactivate it. To deactivate this dialog please tick the box: "Don't show this dialog again." <br>

	~~If you want to delete a line from the list (or even all), please highlight a lign blue and press the little cross at the bottom right of the list area.~~
