Editing Components

Components can be edited in two or three different ways, depending on the type of component:

1. Most visible component attribute fields can be edited by pointing at it with the mouse and then right clicking. The mouse cursor will turn into a text caret when it's pointing at the text.

2. Many component types, such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, bipolar transistors, MOSFET transistors, JFET transistors, independent voltage sources, independent current sources, and hierarchical circuit blocks have special editors. These editors can access the appropriate database of devices. To use these editors, right mouse click on the body of the component.

3. Place the mouse over a symbol, hold down the control key, and click the right mouse button. A dialog box will appear that displays all available symbol attributes. Next to each field is a check box to indicate if the field should be visible on the schematic.
