12.6. Symbol library

12.6. Symbol library

You can easily compile a graphic symbols library file containing frequently used symbols. This can be used for the creation of components (triangles, the shape of AND, OR, Exclusive OR gates, etc.) for saving and subsequent re-use.

These files are stored by default in the library directory and have a .sym extension. The symbols are not gathered in libraries like the components because they are generally not so many.

12.6.1. Export or create a symbol

A component can be exported as a symbol with the button . You can generally create only one graphic, also it will be a good idea to delete all pins, if they exist.

12.6.2. Import a symbol

Importing allows you to add graphics to a component you are editing. A symbol is imported with the button . Imported graphics are added as they were created in existing graphics.
