Component

From IBF-Wiki

General

A component in TARGET 3001! is made of a

schematic symbol (sometimes with a Rest) and/or a matching

layout package (pattern of solderable footprints).

Components are stored in symbol- and package libraries. Symbols and Packages are imported from a library to the schematic or the layout. Symbols and packages are exported to libraries after having created or modified them.
