<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>This image is part of the [[Library Browser]] after pressing key &#039;&#039;&#039;[F2]&#039;&#039;&#039; with the intention to modify an existing component. You can select a category from the tree view in the lower part of the image. Afterwards select an item from the list above.&lt;br&gt; <br /> <br /> [[Image:e_ComponentSelection.jpg|none]]<br /> The expression &quot;Selection: All&quot; in the pull down menu allows specification of the components offered. It forces the above list to show only items having the chosen property.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[[Image:e_WithWithoutModels.jpg]]&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> The &quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;m&#039;&#039;&#039;&quot;-button opens the following menu:<br /> <br /> [[Image:e_m_menu.jpg|left]]<br /> [[Edit component]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> [[Enter component type]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> [[Edit component in the assistant]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> [[Component properties]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> [[Adapt the symbol to the package]]&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> The &quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;u&#039;&#039;&#039;&quot; button stands for an &#039;&#039;&#039;update&#039;&#039;&#039; of the index files of every component. An index file keeps the shape of a component (symbol or package) for a quick display within the browser. In case that a component can not be located correctly, this button is useful.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Image:e_LibUpdDlg1.jpg|none]]<br /> The &quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;i&#039;&#039;&#039;&quot; button gives the following information (see also [[Enter component type]]):&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Image:e_InfoButton.jpg|none]]<br /> Button &quot;Edit Component&quot; offers opportunity to modify a component. See also [[Edit component]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Image:e_BtnEditComponent.jpg]]<br /> <br /> <br /> In case you intend to import a symbol to the schematic or a footprint pattern (package) to the layout &#039;&#039;&#039;for wiring&#039;&#039;&#039; you need to close this window and in schamtic view press key &#039;&#039;&#039;[Ins]&#039;&#039;&#039; or press the icon [[image:InsertComponent.jpg]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Instead of button &quot;Edit component&quot; you will see the button &quot;Import component&quot;. The import means getting a symbol or a package to the canvas.<br /> <br /> <br /> When you are designing a &quot;PCB without Schematic&quot; you can not modify symbols because you do not have a schematic. You only can modify packages. For doing so you need to change the component types offered in section &quot;Libraries&quot;. Please select the library type *.PCK3001 (see oval).&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> [[image:e_BtlTyp.jpg|none]]<br /> <br /> <br /> [[de:Bauteil-Auswahl]]<br /> [[fr:Sélection du composant]]<br /> [[category:Components/Libraries]]</div>
