Library Component Management Tools
Parent page: Commands
Summary
While most schematic library editing actions are at the primitive object level - such as placing the pads and adding lines on the Top Overlay - there are also "component-level" edits that need to be performed, such as copying and pasting components from a schematic or another schematic library. Use these commands to perform component-level edit actions.
