  • Create hierarchical sub-sheets and connection symbols

/projects/eeschema-4.0-en/OEBPS/images/toolbar_schedit_rightside.png

icons/cursor_png

Cancel the active command or tool.

icons/hierarchy_cursor_png

Hierarchy navigation: this tool makes it possible to open the subsheet of the displayed schematic (click in the symbol of this subsheet), or to go back up in the hierarchy (click in a free area of the schematic).

New Component icon

Display the component selector.

Add Power icon

Display the power symbol selector.

icons/add_line_png

Draw a wire.

icons/add_bus_png

Draw a bus.

icons/add_line2bus_png

Draw wire-to-bus entry points. These elements are only graphical and do not create a connection, thus they should not be used to connect wires together.

icons/add_bus2bus_png

Draw bus-to-bus entry points.

icons/noconn_png

Place a “No Connect” flag. These are placed on component pins which are not to be connected. This is useful in the ERC function to check if pins are intentionally left not connected or are missed.

icons/add_junction_png

Place a junction. This connects two crossing wires, or a wire and a pin, when it can be ambiguous. (i.e. if an end of the wire or pin is not connected to one of the ends of the other wire).

icons/add_line_label_png

Local label placement. Two wires may be connected with identical labels in the same sheet. For connections between two different sheets, you have to use global or hierarchical labels.

Global label icon

Place a global label. All global labels with the same name are connected, even between different sheets.

icons/add_hierarchical_label_png

Place a hierarchical label. This makes it possible to place a connection between a sheet and the parent sheet that contains it.

icons/add_hierarchical_subsheet_png

Place a hierarchical subsheet. You must specify the file name for this subsheet.

icons/import_hierarchical_label_png

Import hierarchical labels from a subsheet. These hierarchical labels must already be placed in the subsheet. These are equivalent to pins on a component, and must be connected using wires.

icons/add_hierar_pin_png

Place hierarchical label in a subsheet symbol. This is placed by name and does not require the label to already exist in the subsheet itself.

icons/add_dashed_line_png

Draw a line. These are only graphical and do not connect anything.

icons/add_text_png

Place textual comments. These are only graphical.

icons/image_png

Place a bitmap image.

icons/cancel_png

Delete selected element.

If several superimposed elements are selected, the priority is given to the smallest (in the decreasing priorities: junction, “No Connect”, wire, bus, text, component). This also applies to hierarchical sheets. Note: the “Undelete” function of the general toolbar allows you to cancel last deletions.
