Creating Parts

In Capture, you can create a part and add it to a new or existing library. The part may be a single part or a multiple-part package. It can contain graphics and IEEE symbols, which must be inside the part-body border, as well as text, which can be either inside or outside the part-body border. For any part that you create, you can also create a part convert.

Creating a part involves three processes:

  1. Define the part properties in the Property Sheet pane.
  2. Define the part body.
  3. Place pins on the part body.

In this section:

You can use an existing part as a model for a new part by moving a copy of the part to a second library and then editing the copy. If you want to have the new part in the original library, rename the new part, then move it to the original library.
