Placing New Components

Certain frequently used components; such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors; can be selected for placing on the schematic with a toolbar button.

For most symbols, use menu command Edit=>Component to start a dialog to browse for the device you wish.

The symbol browser includes some important features:

1. You can type in the first few letters of the symbol name and the browser will jump to that symbol.

2. There is a button to open the test fixture for the Linear Technology models.

3. The symbol and its description is displayed.

4. Any of the symbol search paths set up in the control panel can be selected.
